The Corsair MP600 Elite is a 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD with a preinstalled low-profile heatsink, designed especially for PlayStation 5 storage expansion and suitable for PS5 owners who want high-capacity game storage with sequential read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s.
Recommended For
- PS5 owners with a large installed-game library who want a 4TB internal expansion drive with its heatsink already fitted; Corsair positions this variant for PS5, and a review found its PS5 performance competitive.
- PC gamers with a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot who want fast storage for game installs, launches, and file transfers, plus a built-in heatsink; Corsair lists PC gaming and file transfers among its intended uses.
- PS5 users who often move games between console storage and the expansion drive; in GamesRadar+'s test, a 48GB transfer from console storage to the MP600 Elite took 16 seconds.
- Builders who want a standard M.2 2280 Gen4 SSD with a heatsink included, rather than selecting and installing a separate cooler; Corsair says the heatsink helps disperse heat and reduce throttling.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When a PS5 owner is running out of room for installed games, adding the MP600 ELITE in the M.2 expansion bay provides extra internal game storage, so fewer titles need to be deleted to make space.
- For a PS5 player who wants to keep a larger library ready to play, games can be installed on the M.2 drive and launched from it; the added storage is for active play, not just archiving games.
- When moving an existing PS5 game library onto the expansion drive, the MP600 ELITE handled a 48GB transfer from console storage in 16 seconds in one review test; transfer time will vary with the game and system.
- For someone expecting an SSD upgrade to dramatically shorten every PS5 loading screen, review testing found load times broadly comparable to other PS5 expansion SSDs; the more dependable benefit is added space for games.
- In a compatible desktop PC, a gamer can use the MP600 ELITE as an internal drive for a large game collection; its M.2 2280 format fits standard M.2 slots, subject to motherboard clearance for the heatsink.

Reference Q&A
Q: Corsair MP600 Elite 4TB or Samsung 990 PRO 4TB for a PS5?
A: Both are PCIe 4.0 drives rated above Sony’s recommended 5,500 MB/s sequential-read threshold. The Samsung 990 PRO has slightly higher rated sequential speeds—up to 7,450/6,900 MB/s read/write versus the MP600 Elite’s 7,000/6,500 MB/s. Choose the MP600 Elite if you want its included low-profile heatsink and PS5-focused fit; choose the 990 PRO if its higher rated speeds are a priority. Sony notes that exceeding 5,500 MB/s does not guarantee identical performance to the PS5’s internal SSD in every game.
Q: Is the MP600 Elite 4TB or WD Black SN850X 4TB a better PS5 expansion drive?
A: The MP600 Elite is a straightforward choice if you want a PS5-oriented drive with a pre-installed low-profile heatsink. The SN850X has slightly higher rated sequential speeds—up to 7,300/6,600 MB/s read/write for its 4TB model—while the MP600 Elite is rated up to 7,000/6,500 MB/s. Compare the exact SN850X version to confirm it includes a heatsink that fits your console; either drive’s higher-than-recommended read speed does not guarantee faster game loading in every title.
Q: Should I get the MP600 Elite 4TB or the older Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 4TB?
A: Both are PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 drives with heatsinks designed to fit the PS5. The MP600 PRO LPX has slightly higher rated sequential speeds—up to 7,100/6,800 MB/s read/write, compared with 7,000/6,500 MB/s for the MP600 Elite. Choose the Elite for the newer product family and its PS5-focused heatsink; choose the PRO LPX if its slightly higher published speeds or available capacity configuration better suits your setup. These specification differences alone do not establish a noticeable gaming-load-time advantage.
Q: Is the MP600 Elite 4TB worth choosing over the cheaper-tier Corsair MP600 CORE XT?
A: Choose the MP600 Elite when higher sequential transfer speeds, TLC NAND, and a heatsinked PS5-oriented configuration matter. Corsair lists the MP600 CORE XT with QLC NAND and lower sequential ratings of up to 5,000/4,400 MB/s read/write, so it is better suited to buyers prioritizing capacity over peak transfer specifications. For PS5 use, the Elite is the safer fit with Sony’s 5,500 MB/s recommended read-speed threshold; check the exact CORE XT model’s cooling and compatibility before buying.
Q: Will this SSD work in a PS5, and does it need a separate heatsink?
A: The listed model is specified for PS5 expansion and includes a pre-installed heatsink. Its M.2 2280 form factor, PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, and read speed of up to 7,000 MB/s meet the product listing’s stated PS5 requirements. Confirm installation steps for your console before fitting it.
Q: Will it fit in a laptop?
A: Not necessarily. The drive is M.2 2280 NVMe, but its pre-installed heatsink is 9 mm high and may not fit in a laptop’s M.2 bay. Check the laptop’s supported drive type and available clearance before buying.
Q: Can I use this SSD in a desktop PC?
A: Yes, if the motherboard has an M.2 slot that supports PCIe NVMe drives in the 2280 form factor. Check the motherboard’s slot specifications and heatsink clearance; this SSD has its own pre-installed heatsink.
Q: Is 4TB a good capacity for expanding a PS5 game library?
A: It is a large-capacity option for storing an extensive game library. The drive is rated at 4TB; the space shown as available after installation may be lower because of formatting and system reporting.
Q: Is the Corsair MP600 Elite a suitable SSD for a PS5?
A: It is a suitable option based on the provided specifications: it is a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 drive with a pre-installed heatsink, and the product information identifies it as PS5-compatible. Confirm that your console has an available M.2 expansion slot before buying.
Q: Can I use the MP600 Elite in a desktop PC, or is it only for PS5?
A: It can be used in a PC with a compatible M.2 NVMe slot. If the motherboard has its own M.2 heatsink, check the fit and use only one heatsink rather than stacking them.
Q: Is the 4TB version worth choosing over a smaller MP600 Elite?
A: Choose 4TB if you expect to keep a large game library installed or want more room for future downloads. If you regularly remove games or have a tighter budget, a smaller capacity may be sufficient; the main trade-off is storage capacity versus cost.
