The Corsair MP600 PRO XT Gen4 PCIe x4 NVMe 1.4 M.2 SSD offers maximum storage performance and achieves incredibly fast read and write speeds thanks to Gen4 PCIe technology. This SSD uses PCI Express for data transfer, leaving traditional SATA SSDs far behind in terms of transfer rates. M.2 SSDs are installed via the M.2 socket on the motherboard. Due to their compact dimensions, they are particularly well-suited for use in ultrabooks and mini-PCs, but can also be used in standard computers. In systems with NVMe support, this SSD showcases its strengths, benefiting from high throughput, high IOPS, and low latency. Unlike the older AHCI protocol designed for traditional hard drives, NVMe prevents performance degradation, offers faster transfers of large data volumes, increased boot speeds, and improved system response times. This SSD utilizes advanced 3D NAND flash memory technology. The vertical arrangement of the memory cells allows it to overcome the previous density limits typical for NAND storage media with flat cell structures, enabling even more data to be stored per memory cell. This makes the SSD faster, more durable, and significantly more energy-efficient.
