The Corsair MP600 PRO XT Gen4 PCIe x4 NVMe 1.4 M.2 SSD offers maximum storage performance and achieves incredibly fast read and write speeds thanks to Gen4 PCIe technology. This SSD uses PCI Express to transfer data, leaving traditional SATA SSDs far behind in terms of transfer rate. M.2 SSDs are installed via the M.2 socket on the mainboard. Due to their compact dimensions, they are particularly suitable for use in ultrabooks and mini PCs, but can also be used in normal computers. In systems with NVMe support, this SSD particularly shines. You benefit from high throughput, high IOPS and low latency. Unlike the older AHCI protocol designed for traditional spinning drives, NVMe prevents performance degradation, offers faster transfer of large amounts of data, increased boot speeds and improved system response time. This SSD uses advanced 3D NAND flash memory technology. The vertical arrangement of the storage cells allows previous density limits - typical for NAND storage media with a flat cell structure - to be overcome and even more data to be stored per storage cell. This makes the SSD faster, more durable and significantly more energy-efficient.
