Three Bits per Cell
TLC NAND generally offers stronger endurance and sustained-performance characteristics than higher-density QLC designs.
700 TBW Rating
The 1TB model is rated for 700 terabytes written under Corsair’s specified client workload.
AES 256-Bit Encryption
Hardware-level AES 256-bit encryption support helps protect compatible encrypted storage configurations.
S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring
Compatible software can access supported health, temperature, usage, and remaining-life information.
Cooling Required
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.
Microsoft DirectStorage
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.

Installation Planning
Confirm Gen5 Support and Cooling before Installation
The MP700 PRO uses the standard M.2 2280 format, but maximum performance requires the correct motherboard slot, processor lane configuration, BIOS support, 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.
