Corsair MP400 NVMe M.2 SSD 4TB (!) - PCIe 3.0 x4

Powered by a Phison 5012-E12 controller and paired with 3D QLC NAND, Corsair offers something pretty staggering concerning sheer NAND volume storage, as yes, they out their new MP400 series NVMe M2 SSDs. The series is not targeted at an enthusiast audience but rather is released as a mainstream high capacity NVMe SSD series with very decent performance. Guys, honestly, in the year 2020, testing my first 4 TB NVMe NAND storage unit, that's just an amazing fact all by itself. But yeah, we're getting there; SSD storage is closing in on HDD volume sizes, a dream of many. And sure let me be the first to say it, they're still not cheap enough as here in the Netherlands you'll pay the pretty sum of € 599,- (14 cents /GB) but yeah, that reality is getting realistic, high volume super-fast NAND storage is on the horizon.

Not just that, this, my friends, is a QLC NAND written SSD. And before you go all 'eeeuuhw and naaaah,' it really did impress me in performance. It's as fast in any segment as a premium PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD, and due to strong buffers and full utilization of NAND channels, we did not hit a TLC/QLC write buffer issue either. Yeah, Corsair announced the launch of the new MP400 Gen3 PCIe x4 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive, taking advantage of 3D QLC NAND technology to store massive amounts of data with lightning-fast transfer speeds of up to 3,400MB/sec sequential read and 3,000MB/sec sequential writes. The MP400 is available now in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and soon even 8TB capacities. Conveniently slotting directly into a motherboard thanks to its M.2 2280 industry-standard NVMe form-factor, the MP400 boasts wide-ranging compatibility and high-bandwidth performance, while its high-density 3D QLC NAND memory ensures better value than the previous generation TLC NAND, able to store more data in the same amount of physical space.

What about endurance, you wonder, well ... at 4TB, you have many NAND cells! And as such, this 4TB unit offers an endurance of up to 800 TB Written. That's not bad, eh? Let's head on over to the next page and talk a little more about all this.

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.

Corsair HS55 Wireless Core Headset review
Corsair has a broad range of PC components and peripherals. Among them, headsets are also available, and the range starts from the budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. Getting back to the HS series, it starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS55 Wireless Core in this review. Its debut is on the 20th of September, 2022.

Corsair K60 PRO TKL keyboard review
The Corsair K60 RGB Pro keyboard is the one we’re reviewing today. It’s not the first one from the K70 series checked on guru3d. Previously those were K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, also in a low-profile ...
