Jon said in his review of the Corsair MP700 PRO SE PCIe 5.0 SSD: "Corsair is delivering some of the finest SSDs in the world. Today's test subject is a testament to this fact. Its partnership with the world's leading controller company, Phison Electronics, is again paying dividends, as we just saw yesterday from the world's best-performing 2230 SSD - the Corsair MP600 Mini 2024 edition. With its MP700 Pro SE, Corsair is furthering its reputation as a premium brand. Additionally, we would note that with an MSRP of $635 for the 4TB MP700 Pro SE, the drive is priced considerably lower than what we've seen from the competition so far".

He added: "It's the highest-performing 4TB SSD we've ever tested and earned our highest award. Editor's Choice".

Corsair explains on its website: "The MP700 PRO SE is the latest PCIe 5.0 SSD to charge out of the CORSAIR stables, setting new performance highs as it races across the storage landscape, and quickly becoming the drive you want in your PC if you want the best of the best. As the name suggests, this is a Special Edition take on the MP700 PRO, featuring the same core technologies but this time bolstered with the very latest NAND Flash memory to redefine what PCIe 5.0 SSD performance looks like".
