Built using high-density 3D TLC NAND and available in 1TB and 2TB capacities at launch, with 4TB models coming in April, the MP600 ELITE series offers impressive sequential read performance of up to 7,000MB/sec and write performance of up to 6,500MB/sec. This is bolstered by random read and write speeds of up to 1,000K and 1,200K IOPS respectively, making them ideal for gamers, creators, and hardware enthusiasts seeking impressive performance on a PCIe 4.0 platform. These SSDs are also backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0 systems.
The MP600 ELITE is available as a standard drive for use in both motherboards and laptops, with an integrated heatspreader, and also as a PS5-compatible model that slots directly into Sony’s latest consoles. Each drive offers AES 256-bit encryption as well as endurance up to 1,200TBW.
As the name suggests, the MP600 ELITE for PS5 has been specifically engineered for use in Sony’s latest console and features a low-profile aluminum heatsink that keeps the SSD cool even under the most intense gaming sessions.
