Corsair is targeting PS5 users with its MP600 Pro LPX series of SSDs. These high-end PCIe 4 models are topped with a fairly thin heatsink that allows it to fit inside Sony’s console and thus expand its storage capacity.
The Corsair MP600 Pro LPX 2TB SSD is a perfect model to expand the storage capacity of a Sony PS5 console. The flow rates are very high, stable and the heat release is perfectly controlled by the small heat sink. This model is also quite suitable for use on a PC. It also benefits from a good guarantee, both in terms of duration and endurance.
Strong points
- Very high read and write speeds.
- Fairly large SLC cache.
- 5 year warranty.
- 1400 TB write endurance.
- Exemplary thermal management.
- Sony PS5 compatibility.
Weak points
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Samsung 990 Pro 1TB is an excellent internal SSD with ultra-fast read and write speeds. It competes head-on with the Kingston KC3000, which was already very fast, while offering better controlled heating.
