Corsair MP600 ELITE 2000GB

The Corsair MP600 ELITE uses the Phison PS5027-E27T controller paired with Kioxia 162-layer BiCS6 3D TLC NAND and relies on Host Memory Buffer (HMB) instead of onboard DRAM to target PCIe Gen4 x4 bandwidth while reducing power and thermal output.

Key Specifications

• Interface: PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4
• Sequential Speeds: 7000 MB/s Read, 6500 MB/s Write
• Controller: Phison PS5027-E27T (4-Channel)
• NAND Flash: Kioxia 162-Layer BiCS6 3D TLC
• DRAM Cache: No (Uses Host Memory Buffer / HMB)
• Endurance: 1200 TBW (Total Bytes Written)
• Physical Layout: Single-sided PCB (2280)
• Encryption: AES 256-bit support

Hardware Alternatives

• Sabrent Rocket 4 (E27T Refresh): Shares the same Phison E27T reference design; performance differences are primarily minor firmware or binning variations.
• Inland TN470: Shares the same Phison E27T reference design; performance differences are primarily minor firmware or binning variations.
• Lexar NM790 2000GB: Uses the Maxio MAP1602 controller and 232-layer YMTC NAND; offers a similar Max-Gen4 throughput profile without DRAM, with a different controller architecture.
• WD_BLACK SN770 2000GB: Western Digital proprietary design that helped pioneer the high-performance DRAM-less segment; the MP600 ELITE generally outperforms it in sequential throughput due to the newer E27T controller.
• Samsung 990 EVO 2000GB: Another DRAM-less hybrid solution; the MP600 ELITE offers higher sequential read/write ceilings.
