At CES 2025 earlier this month, Phison announced its new E31T controller which is supposed to bring cheaper PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSDs like the new Crucial P510. Since PCIe 5.0 drives continue to be expensive, Gen4 remains a popular option for most users. In case you are on the prowl for a high-capacity Gen4 SSD, then you can consider the 8TB Corsair MP600 PRO XT which is available for its lowest price (purchase link under the specs list below).

The Corsair MP600 PRO XT is a high-performance drive and promises speeds of over 7000 MB/s. The drive also comes with its own dedicated 2GB of DDR4 DRAM cache and thus does not need to rely on system RAM via HMB (host memory buffer). It is based on TLC NAND flash and hence the rated endurance is fairly high too at 6000 TBW.
The discounted drive packs a gorgeous heatsink too and thus there should be no worry of overheating.
The technical specifications of the 8TB Corsair MP600 PRO XT are given below:
- NAND Memory: 112-layer TLC (3D) NAND by Kioxia
- Controller: Phison PS5018-E18
- DRAM Cache: DDR4, 2048 MB (2x 1024 MB)
