Corsair MP600 PRO LPX SSD Review and PC Benchmark - Game ON?

When Corsair released their first high performing SSD entry onto the PCIe 4 m.2 NVMe tier, they did so into a significantly less crowded marketplace than it is right now. The MP600 was one of the first Phison E16 SSDs to arrive on the scene and it made quite the mark! Then the Phison E18 prosumer model arrived in the MP600 Pro (Originally reviewed here on NASCompares, it scored very well in its review and benchmark ), but fast forward to 2022 and corsair have revisited this SSD with a new heatsink and tweaked firmware (optimized in favour of PS5 utilization) in the new Corsair MP600 Pro LPX. This new revision of the Corsair MP600 embraces some physical differences in the heatsink (changing the rather beefy PC targetted H/S), but for the most part is the same SSD, with the same architecture as the MP600 that came before it. That said, with the boost in SSD deployment in PS5 consoles around the world, the move by the brand to make their flagship prosumer SSD more accessible to that market makes a lot of sense. That said, is this the same old SSD with a simple paint job? What sets the Corsair MP600 Pro LPX apart from its predecessor? Let's find out.

It might be easier to remove the heatsink after putting it into you PS5/computer and letting it run for a bit. The heat build up might soften the paste. Might have to run a write benchmark for enough heat, though. EDIT: Running your benchmarks before removing the factory-installed heatsink would reduce any temperature variance due to the difference in mounting.

I think the LPX stands for Low Profile Storage, at least in this case.

I am wondering between corsair mp600 pro lpx and wd sn850 black with heatsink and aorus 7000s which is better for ps5

No other SSD stays cooler than this one. I think it is the best one one the market and not made in China like Samsung or getting 70°C like WDs

That thermal interface material is lackluster in the area of contact.
I think if yo repaste it yourself it would perform better in temperature aspect

I've been using a Corsair MP510 480GB with three years and with the past two months I've been having trouble with it. When I am transfering files to it after a minute or two I get a WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR BSOD. It happens when I'm downloading anything too. After about 10 - 15 minutes of downloading it BSOD.

I've changed my GPU, tested my ram and done a clean install of Windows as well as reseating my ram, reseated the 24 pin and six pin power on my main board and installed a 240GB SSD.

It's so bad now that I left the computer Idle earlier today and after a half hour it BSOD.

I didn't install a heatsink because I was sure the gen 3 NVME drives were ok without one and there's no SSD shield on my MSI X470 Gaming plus.

So earlier today I installed a 240 GB SSD and proceeded to download something that caused my computer to BSOD about 10 times yesterday. I changed the download listen cation to the SSD and it didn't crash once for the duration of the download of over an hour. I also copied 7.6GB of files from the NVME to the SSD without a problem. It's only when writing to the NVME I get a BSOD.

So the reason why I watched this video is I was looking to see how good this NVME is. After the review I bought the drive. I bought a 1YB version

I'm just hoping my problem isn't my main board or CPU because I can't afford to change those for a few months yet.

I know my x470 is gen 3 NVME but I'm planning on upgrading to X570 and an 5800X3D.

What would be the best ssd for the ps5 in your opinion (or anyone’s opinion)? I’m looking to get one soon

Hello
Can u help me please?
I dont understand it fit to pc or not?

[ToddKortte]

I just built my PC and purchased the MP600 LPX SSD. I just failed on me after 12 days of use. I was just at the point of backing up my files. Lost them all. I don't know what happened. I will be contacting Corsair tomorrow morning.

Kind of junky that removing the heatsink voids the warranty what if the motherboard has a heatsink to use and they don't offer no-heatsink version so guess can't buy this thing
