Corsair MP700 ELITE 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 2280 SSD
The Corsair MP700 ELITE 4TB combines massive storage capacity with high-speed PCIe 5.0 performance for gaming PCs, creator workstations, and demanding desktop systems. The exact 4TB no-heatsink model reaches sequential read speeds up to 9,400MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 8,100MB/s.
High-density 3D TLC NAND, up to 1.2 million random-read IOPS, up to 1.4 million random-write IOPS, Microsoft DirectStorage support, and a substantial 2,400 TBW endurance rating provide a strong blend of capacity, responsiveness, and long-term reliability. This version ships without an integrated heatsink, so compatible M.2 cooling is required.
Flagship Gen5 throughput accelerates large-file access, loading, and transfers.
Strong random performance supports demanding multitasking and professional workloads.
High-density 3D TLC NAND provides strong long-term client-storage endurance.
Up to 9,400MB/s Read and 8,100MB/s Write
The PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 protocol provide substantially more bandwidth than previous-generation storage platforms when installed in a compatible Gen5 M.2 slot.
9,400MB/s Sequential Read
Rapid read performance accelerates large applications, game assets, project files, and high-resolution media access.
8,100MB/s Sequential Write
High sequential-write throughput supports demanding exports, installations, caching, transfers, and content workflows.
PCIe 5.0 x4 Bandwidth
Four Gen5 lanes provide the bandwidth required for the drive’s maximum rated performance.
Backward Compatible with Gen4
The drive can operate in a compatible PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot, but performance is limited by the older interface.
Up to 1.2 Million Read and 1.4 Million Write IOPS
High random performance improves responsiveness when the operating system, applications, games, and professional software access many small files simultaneously.
1.2 Million Random-Read IOPS
Fast random reads improve application responsiveness, asset access, indexing, and multitasking.
1.4 Million Random-Write IOPS
Exceptional random writes support heavy update activity, scratch workloads, caching, and concurrent processes.
Responsive Game Storage
Fast asset access helps reduce storage-related delays in compatible modern games and game engines.
Workstation-Ready Responsiveness
High IOPS performance benefits large project libraries, development environments, and demanding content applications.
Performance, Endurance, and Long-Term Reliability
Three-dimensional TLC NAND provides a strong balance of sustained speed, write endurance, and storage density for a high-performance client SSD.
Three Bits per Cell
TLC NAND generally offers stronger endurance and sustained-performance characteristics than higher-density QLC designs.
2,400 TBW Rating
The exact 4TB model is rated for 2,400 terabytes written under Corsair’s specified client workload.
High-Capacity 4TB Configuration
Store large games, professional projects, applications, and working files on one fast local drive.
S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring
Compatible software can access supported health, temperature, usage, and remaining-life information.
No Heatsink Included — Use Proper M.2 Cooling
PCIe 5.0 SSDs generate substantial heat under sustained workloads. This model ships without an integrated heatsink and requires a compatible motherboard M.2 heatsink or separate cooling solution.
Separate Cooling Is Required
Do not operate the drive under sustained high-load conditions without an appropriate M.2 cooling solution.
Motherboard Heatsink Compatible
A properly sized motherboard M.2 heatsink is suitable when it provides adequate contact and airflow.
Heat Can Reduce Performance
Excessive temperature can trigger thermal throttling, lowering transfer rates until the drive cools.
Check Heatsink Clearance
Confirm compatibility with the motherboard, graphics card, chipset covers, thermal pads, and selected M.2 slot.
Faster Asset Delivery in Compatible Games
DirectStorage allows supported games to use a more efficient storage-to-GPU asset pipeline, reducing processor overhead and improving load-time potential on compatible systems.
DirectStorage Support
The drive supports Microsoft DirectStorage when used with compatible games, Windows versions, graphics hardware, and drivers.
Efficient Asset Streaming
Compatible game engines can move compressed assets more efficiently from storage toward the graphics pipeline.
System Requirements Apply
DirectStorage benefits require compatible software and a DirectX 12 GPU with Shader Model 6.0 support.
Game Support Determines Results
Performance gains vary because each game must implement DirectStorage and use it effectively.
Key Features
High-speed sequential and random performance, PCIe Gen5 bandwidth, NVMe 2.0, 3D TLC NAND, DirectStorage, substantial endurance, and standard M.2 2280 compatibility.

Confirm Gen5 Support and Cooling before Installation
The MP700 ELITE uses the standard M.2 2280 format, but maximum performance requires a compatible PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot, current firmware, available lanes, and adequate cooling.
Use a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Slot
A Gen4 slot can operate the drive at reduced bandwidth, while SATA-only M.2 slots are incompatible.
Install the M.2 Heatsink Correctly
Remove protective films from the thermal pads and ensure even contact with the controller and NAND package area.
Check Shared PCIe Lanes
Some motherboards reduce graphics-card lanes or disable another storage port when a specific Gen5 M.2 slot is used.
Back Up before Replacing a Drive
Create a verified backup, clone, or recovery image before removing the existing system storage.
Perfect For
Ideal for high-end gaming PCs, professional creator systems, development workstations, demanding scratch-disk workloads, and users building around a properly cooled PCIe Gen5 platform.
Gen5 Speed and DirectStorage
High throughput and low-latency asset access support modern game libraries and compatible DirectStorage titles.
