The SSD drive market has stabilized in recent years, prices have leveled out, and non-standard designs have become rare among manufacturers. However, there are companies that are getting creative in this area. One such company is Corsair with their Corsair MP series of high-end drives that are designed to meet the needs of gamers and enthusiasts. One of them is Corsair with its Corsair MP line of hi-end drives for gamers and enthusiasts. This is a truly creative series in which you can find both more traditional M.2 SSDs with removable heat sinks, and more exotic drives with double radiators, water cooling or support for the fifth generation PCI-E bus with an operating speed of 10,000 MB/s.


Any member of this family is a storage product that not only meets all the requirements of the time, but is also ahead of many of them. They use high-quality control controllers and multilayer flash memory, support for NVMe and the fourth generation PCI-E bus is required, linear read-write speeds are in the region of 5000 - 6000 MB/s, IOPS indicators are much higher than the average temperature in the room, and almost the entire The products are covered by a five-year warranty. In general, these could be quite ordinary SSDs of the buy, install and forget format, but Corsair would not be itself if it did not go further.

So in 2021 they released a pack of modified MP400 and MP600 drives with Force and Pro prefixes. Both feature thick designer aluminium heatsinks that literally scream to be installed in the most visible place in an equally beautiful motherboard, turn on the backlight and not block the viewing window. Although, of course, radiators primarily serve to reduce the operating temperature of the controller. Further more, in the same 2021, something hitherto unheard of was released - an SSD with a full-fledged water block for liquid cooling with impressive speed indicators up to 7100 MB/s. Well, in the summer of 2023, one of the first SSD drives with the fifth generation PCI-E interface, 232-layer flash memory and a read speed of 9500 MB/s was released.
