Test Bench
For our tests, we used our Test Rig which consists of an Asus Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi motherboard, along with an Intel Core i9-14900K, a GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER graphics card, and 32GB of DDR5-7200 memory kit.
* ALL tests are conducted at specified default speeds and settings.

AIDA64 Disk Information
As you can see from AIDA64 disk information, the Corsair MP700 uses the Phison E26 PCIE 5.0 SSD controller and Micron 3D TLC NAND chips. It supports NVMe 2.0, PCIE Gen5x4. It shows a total formatted capacity of 1,863, which is about right for a 2TB drive when you take it in to consideration.
AIDA64 Linear Read Test
“This test is designed to measure the sustained linear (sequential) reading performance of the storage device by reading all data from the surface of the device.”
CrystalDiskMark
CrystalDiskMark is a disk benchmark software.It measure sequential reads/writes speed,measure random 512KB, 4KB, 4KB (Queue Depth=32) reads/writes speed, select test data (Random, 0Fill, 1Fill), provide theme support and Multi-Language support.
During our CrystalDiskMark 4GB test we managed to get a maximum read speed of 9,949 MB/sec with Write speeds of 10,054 MB/sec. It peforms as advertised, so no complaints here.
ATTO Disk Benchmark
ATTO has created a widely-accepted Disk Benchmark freeware software to help measure storage system performance. As one of the top tools utilized in the industry, Disk Benchmark identifies performance in hard drives, solid state drives, RAID arrays as well as the host connection to attached storage.
Anvil Storage
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a powerful tool that was designed in order to provide you with a simple means of assessing the read and writer performance of your Solid State Drive or Hard Disk Drive.
In our Anvil tests, we managed to get a 4K QTD16 Read IOPS score of 284,409.13. While 4K QTD16 write IOPS score was at 589,186.26 which is phenomenal!
Load Temps
Full load temperatures reached a high 51 degree Celsius, which is lower than I expected. I was expecting higher as we all know PCIE Gen5 SSDs tend to run extremely hot during 100% full load.
I guess the included thin copper foil on top of the SSD helped, along with the motherboard’s M.2 heatsink which be more than enough to provide sufficient cooling.
PCMark 10 – Full System Drive Benchmark
The Full System Drive benchmark uses a wide-ranging set of real-world traces from popular applications and common tasks to fully test the performance of the fastest modern drives.
This benchmark writes 204 GB of data to the drive over the duration of the test. This data is deleted when the test ends.
To run this test, you need a minimum of 80 GB of free space on the drive, 8 GB of RAM, and a quad-core CPU.
3DMark 10 – Storage Benchmark
Fast storage means shorter loading times and more time in the game. The 3DMark Storage Benchmark is a dedicated component test for measuring the gaming performance of your storage hardware. Using traces recorded from real games, it tests performance for activities such as loading games, saving progress, installing game files, and recording gameplay video streams.
PassMark 10
Fast, easy to use, PC speed testing and benchmarking. PassMark PerformanceTest allows you to objectively benchmark a PC using a variety of different speed tests and compare the results to other computers.
