If you have a system that supports PCIe Gen5 SSDs and you want to take advantage of that, Corsair has its MP700 Elite NVMe SSD currently at a great price. The drive is on sale for just $158 for a very limited time till stocks last, making it an enticing deal that is definitely worth considering (purchase link under the specs table down below).
As with any PCIe Gen5 SSDs, Corsair too promises very fast speeds with the MP700 Elite. The drive is based on TLC (triple-level cell) NAND, and thus the endurance is quite good. The SSD should last for a long time.
The one minor drawback of the model is the lack of DRAM cache on it. However, the product is based on NVMe interface, version 2.0, and thus it makes great use of HMB (host memory buffer) technology that can access system memory for metadata caching purposes for improving random access times.
As you know, adding a decent heat spreader is compulsory for PCIe Gen5 SSDs, or else they throttle under sustained loads. The full technical specifications of the MP700 Elite are given below:
