PRESS RELEASE
Able to Reach Speeds Up To 4950MB/Sec, 50x the speed of standard disk drives
COMPUTEX, TAIPEI, TAIWAN, May 27th, 2019 – CORSAIR®, a world leader in PC gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today unveiled the new CORSAIR Force Series MP600 NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD, one of the world’s first PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs compatible with the new AMD X570 chipset, also revealed today. Unleashed by the PCIe 4.0 ready AMD X570 chipset, the MP600 reaches new heights of enthusiast single-drive storage performance, delivering up to 4950MB/sec sequential read – ten times the performance of many SATA SSDs, and fifty times faster than some hard disk drives.
The MP600’s phenomenal performance stems from the hugely increased bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 (PCI-Express Generation 4), a feature that will be made available to customers for the first time as part of the AMD X570 chipset and 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen™ Desktop Processors. Easily fitting into a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, the MP600’s NVMe interface and high-density 3D TLC NAND combine with a Phison PS5016-E16 controller to enable a new level of single-drive SSD performance. Boasting up to 4,950MB/s sequential read and 4,250MB/s sequential write speeds, the MP600 is ready to become the storage center of your new 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor and AMD X570 chipset-based system.
Alongside today’s unveiling of the MP600 and the AMD X570 chipset, CORSAIR is proud to announce wide-ranging compatibility across its full lineup of products for both the new AMD X570 chipset and the upcoming range of 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen™ Desktop Processors. From high-efficiency power supplies, performance all-in-one liquid CPU coolers and enthusiast cases to high-speed SSDs and performance DDR4 memory, CORSAIR components ensure that users will get the most from AMD’s exciting new platform and range of processors.
“AMD is making huge strides in bringing new, high-performance features to the PC enthusiast market, and we’re delighted to be able to partner with them in doing so,” said Andy Paul, Founder and CEO of CORSAIR. “With the MP600, AMD X570 motherboard owners will be able to experience the benefits of PCIe 4.0 immediately, with the fastest CORSAIR SSD yet at the center of their system.”
