Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 2000GB

SSD Description

The Corsair MP600 PRO LPX is a compact, high-performance PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD based on the Phison E18 reference design. It uses the Phison PS5018-E18 controller paired with Micron 176-layer 3D TLC NAND and includes a DDR4 DRAM cache for consistent random I/O and reduced latency. The LPX features a factory-applied low-profile aluminum heatsink engineered to fit the PlayStation 5 M.2 expansion bay while remaining compatible with standard PC motherboards, and is designed to fully utilize the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface.
