Now that AMD has kicked off the transition to PCI Express 4.Zero within the client PC market, peripheral distributors are racing to observe go well with. Phison is on observe to ship the primary PCIe 4.0-capable NVMe controller for client SSDs, so a lot of their prospects are saying merchandise primarily based on the brand new PS5016-E16 controller. Corsair is likely one of the first in flip to announce their drive, with the brand new MP600 M.2 NVMe SSD.
The specs disclosed to this point for the MP600 are nonetheless incomplete, however an important level is that the MP600 might be launching in July alongside AMD’s new Ryzen 3000 sequence processors and their X570 chipset, each offering PCIe 4.Zero lanes. Corsair hasn’t particularly dedicated to launching on the identical 7/7 date as AMD, however even transport in the identical month is a win for Phison and their companions. No different SSD controller vendor has introduced a PCIe 4.Zero succesful shopper SSD controller, and even when that adjustments this week throughout Computex, Phison will virtually actually be first to market.

The MP600 might be able to as much as 4950MB/s for sequential reads and 4250MB/s for sequential writes, each vital will increase over any client SSD presently obtainable, such because the MP510 it is going to be changing. That efficiency possible solely applies to the biggest capability MP600, however Corsair hasn’t introduced what particular capacities might be obtainable; our guess is that the product line will go as much as the identical 1920GB because the MP510. The MP600 features a easy black heatsink over the M.2 module, which can truly be essential to hit the brand new increased speeds.
Pricing for the MP600 has not but been introduced. The guarantee would be the typical 5 years, however write endurance has not been introduced. And, in fact, the drive might be backwards-compatible with current PCIe 3.Zero programs.
