Corsair MP600 Core XT Review

The Corsair MP600 Core XT uses QLC NAND to reach large capacities at a lower cost per terabyte than TLC-based drives, aimed at buyers who prioritize storage space for media libraries and game installs over maximum sustained write performance.

At up to 5,000 MB/s read and 4,400 MB/s write, this drive delivers solid PCIe 4.0 performance for typical use, though QLC NAND can see write speeds drop on very large sustained transfers once its cache is exhausted. Against the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, covered elsewhere on this site, that TLC-based drive maintains more consistent sustained write performance at a higher price per terabyte. Against the Sabrent Rocket Q4, also covered elsewhere on this site, both use QLC NAND to prioritize capacity-per-dollar.

Performance and Speed

Our verdict

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Best for

  • Buyers who want large storage capacity at a low cost per terabyte for game and media libraries. QLC NAND keeps this drive's pricing competitive at higher capacities.

Not for

  • Not for buyers running very large sustained write workloads like video editing raw footage transfers. A TLC-based drive like the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, covered elsewhere on this site, sustains write performance more consistently.
