help Corsair MP700 PRO FAQ
Does the Corsair MP700 PRO need a heatsink or active cooler?
Yes, Corsair sells the MP700 PRO with cooling options because PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives can throttle under sustained load. The drive is aimed at systems with strong motherboard M.2 cooling, an included fan heatsink, or a water-block version.
How fast is the Corsair MP700 PRO compared with PCIe 4.0 SSDs?
The MP700 PRO is rated around 12,400 MB/s sequential read and around 11,800 MB/s sequential write in its faster capacities. That is well above common PCIe 4.0 drives such as the Samsung 990 PRO, which top out around the 7,000 MB/s class.
Will the MP700 PRO work in a PCIe 4.0 motherboard slot?
It should fall back to PCIe 4.0 speeds if the motherboard supports NVMe M.2 drives, but it will not reach its Gen5 headline numbers. To get the point of the MP700 PRO, you need a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot on a newer AMD or Intel platform.
Is the Corsair MP700 PRO useful for gaming or mainly for workstation loads?
For most games, a good PCIe 4.0 SSD already loads quickly, so the MP700 PRO is more compelling for large file work, scratch disks, and heavy transfers. It can still help in DirectStorage-capable PC gaming, but the biggest measurable gains are usually outside normal game launching.
