The CORSAIR MP700 PRO is a 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 SSD for desktop users seeking very high storage speeds, with sequential reads up to 12,400MB/s and writes up to 11,800MB/s.
Recommended For
- PC builders with a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and a compatible motherboard heatsink who want high sequential SSD throughput without adding a separate SSD cooler.
- Video editors and other creators who regularly move large project files and can benefit from fast sequential reads and writes.
- Enthusiast desktop builders upgrading a Gen5-capable system who specifically want cutting-edge storage throughput for demanding file-transfer and benchmark workloads.
- PC gamers building a premium Gen5 system who also use the drive for large game installs, recording, and file transfers—not just to seek faster game loading.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When moving large video, photo, or project files between fast drives, the MP700 PRO can shorten transfer times; the benefit depends on the speed of the other drive and the workload.
- For a PC used with large creative workloads, such as loading or saving sizable media projects, the drive’s strongest practical advantage is handling sequential data transfers quickly; everyday tasks may show less difference than benchmark speeds suggest.
- In a gaming PC, it can store and launch a game library, but reviews indicate that game-loading gains over a good PCIe Gen4 SSD are often modest rather than dramatic.
- With a compatible game and system, DirectStorage can let supported software use the SSD-to-GPU data path; the feature does not guarantee shorter loads in every game.
- During long transfers or demanding storage work, use an appropriate M.2 heatsink or other compatible cooling: CORSAIR specifies that SSD cooling is required, and sustained workloads can make temperature management important.

Reference Q&A
Q: Should I get the Corsair MP700 PRO 2TB or Samsung 990 PRO 2TB?
A: Choose the MP700 PRO if your PC supports PCIe 5.0 and you regularly move large files or run storage-heavy workloads: its rated sequential speeds are up to 12,400/11,800 MB/s read/write, versus 7,450/6,900 MB/s for the PCIe 4.0 990 PRO. Choose the 990 PRO for a PCIe 4.0 system or mainly everyday and gaming use; reviews report that Gen5’s higher sequential speeds do not consistently translate into large gaming gains.
Q: Is the MP700 PRO worth it if my motherboard only has PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots?
A: The MP700 PRO is backward compatible, but a PCIe 4.0 slot limits it below its advertised Gen5 performance. If you will keep that motherboard and want a fast drive for general use, a PCIe 4.0 SSD such as the Samsung 990 PRO is a more fitting match. Consider the MP700 PRO if you expect to move to a Gen5 system or have a workload that benefits from its higher sequential throughput.
Q: Will the MP700 PRO load games much faster than a PCIe 4.0 SSD?
A: Not reliably by a large margin across games. Reviews found that the MP700 PRO’s Gen5 advantage is more apparent in sequential-transfer workloads than in many game-loading tests. It is a stronger fit if you also handle large file transfers or other storage-heavy work; for a gaming-focused PC, a capable Gen4 SSD may offer a similar practical experience. The MP700 PRO does support DirectStorage-compatible games, but that benefit depends on the game and system.
Q: Does this MP700 PRO 2TB include a heatsink, unlike some other M.2 SSDs?
A: No. This SKU is supplied without a heatsink, and CORSAIR says separate cooling is required. Choose it if your motherboard has an M.2 heatsink or you can provide compatible cooling; otherwise, compare it with a version or competing drive that includes a heatsink.
Q: Will this SSD work in a PCIe Gen4 M.2 slot?
A: Yes. It is backward compatible with PCIe Gen4, but its transfer speeds will be limited by the motherboard’s slot; it will not reach its rated Gen5 speeds in a Gen4 slot.
Q: Does this Gen5 SSD need a heatsink?
A: Plan on adequate M.2 cooling, especially during sustained heavy transfers. The product information provided does not specify an included heatsink, so check whether your motherboard’s M.2 slot has a suitable heatsink before installing it.
Q: Will it reach 12,400 MB/s in my PC?
A: Not necessarily. Up to 12,400 MB/s sequential read is the listed maximum; reaching Gen5 speeds requires a compatible PCIe Gen5 x4 M.2 connection, and actual results depend on the system and workload. A Gen4 slot limits the drive to Gen4 speeds.
Q: Who is this 2TB SSD best suited for?
A: It is best suited to desktop users with a compatible Gen5 M.2 slot who want high sequential transfer speeds for storage-heavy workloads, such as moving large files. Its 2TB capacity and M.2 2280 form factor also suit builds that support that drive size. For everyday use, the main decision is whether the extra Gen5 performance is useful in your system.
Q: Is the MP700 PRO worth buying mainly for gaming instead of a PCIe Gen4 SSD?
A: For gaming alone, its Gen5 sequential speeds may not justify paying more than for a Gen4 drive. A reviewer tested gaming performance, while Reddit discussion of Gen5 drives notes that gaming can run well on slower SSDs too. The value depends on the price difference and whether you also need very high transfer speeds for other work.
Q: Can I use the MP700 PRO in a motherboard with a PCIe Gen4 M.2 slot?
A: Yes. The product information says the drive is backward compatible with PCIe Gen4, but it will run at the slot’s supported speed rather than its advertised Gen5 maximum. Check that your motherboard supports an M.2 2280 NVMe drive and confirm which slot provides the speed you want.
Q: Does the MP700 PRO need an M.2 heatsink?
A: Plan for adequate M.2 cooling, especially during long transfers or benchmarks. YouTube reviews discuss thermal performance, and Reddit owners describe heat and throttling concerns under sustained workloads. A compatible motherboard heatsink may be sufficient, but fit and cooling depend on the motherboard and case airflow.
