Who said for the first time that of “Knowledge takes no place”, I must have been thinking of units like these CORSAIR MP600 MINI and MP600 CORE XTtwo high-capacity and high-performance PCIe SSDs that in both cases, but especially in the first, condense a large storage capacity into small dimensions that, thanks to the features associated with PCIe Gen 4, offer exceptional access to data stored on the same, even on the smallest devices.
As I said, in this regard the most notable case is that of the CORSAIR MP600 MINI, one drive with M.2 2230 form factorthat is, that its dimensions are only 22 x 30 mm, which makes it compatible with devices like the Steam Deck, the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 and many others where size is a key factor. As for its performance, it can scale up to 4,800 MB/s read and 4,800 MB/s writeso it will be able to provide adequate performance even in the most demanding tasks of these devices.
Regarding its capacity, we are facing a unit that uses technology High Density 3D TLC NANDso it is capable of offering a terabyte, which makes it a highly recommended option if we want to expand the storage capacity of any small device, and thus enjoy the same capacity and performance that we can find on laptop and desktop systems.
The CORSAIR MP600 MINI SSD is available now on the CORSAIR webstore, and is priced at €124.99.
For its part, the CORSAIR MP600 CORE XT is a M.2 2280 Form Factor SSD, that is, the standard most widely used today and, therefore, the one that conforms to the design of most devices, both portable and desktop. Employ 3D QLC NAND Flash high density, which allows these storage units to offer a capacity of up to four terabytes, without sacrificing the performance that PCIe Gen 4 x4 offers. Specifically, this model is offered with one, two, and four terabyte capacities.
And what performance is that? Well, we are talking about sustained performance of up to 5,000 MB/s reading and 4,400 MB/s writinga, that is, up to 10 times faster than with a SATA SSD. Therefore, an upgrade to a PCIe SSD like this can provide a dramatic increase in performance for older systems, and they are also an excellent option for newer ones but with lower capacities.
The CORSAIR MP600 CORE XT is available now on the CORSAIR webstore, with prices starting at €69.99 for the terabyte unit.
