The proof
Performance
Sequential speeds hit 7,100 MB/s read and 6,800 MB/s write, which puts it in the top tier for Gen 4 drives. Our database ranks it around the 83rd percentile for speed, so it's fast, just not the absolute fastest thing out there. Random performance lands closer to middle of the pack, which matters less for console gaming anyway. The real story here is consistency. This drive was tuned for sustained game loads, not synthetic benchmark flexing. The heatsink does its job too. No thermal throttling complaints in the reviews we've seen.

vs Competition
The Samsung 990 PRO beats it on raw speed and random performance, but Samsung's heatsink version costs even more and the bare version needs a separate heatsink for PS5 use. The WD Black SN850X is the closest rival, with similar speeds and a slightly better warranty, but its heatsink version is harder to find in stock. The Seagate FireCuda 530R and Kingston Fury Renegade both offer comparable Gen 4 performance, often at lower prices. The Corsair's main edge is availability and that it just works in the PS5 without any fiddling.

Value & Pricing
Here's where it gets tricky. At $575 USD or $805 CAD, this is not a cheap drive. You're paying a premium for the PS5-specific heatsink and the Corsair name. If you're on PC, you can get similar performance for less money by grabbing a bare drive and a $10 aftermarket heatsink. But for PS5 owners who want a drop-in solution with zero guesswork, the convenience tax might be worth it. The 1,400 TBW endurance rating means this drive will outlast your console generation, so think of it as a one-time purchase.

Overview
The Corsair MP600 Pro LPX is basically the official sidekick for your PS5. It's a 2TB M.2 drive with a pre-installed heatsink that slides right into the console's expansion slot. No fuss, no extra parts to buy. Corsair built this thing specifically for Sony's machine, and it shows.
Spec-wise, you're looking at 7,100 MB/s reads and 6,800 MB/s writes over PCIe 4.0. That's right in line with what the PS5 wants. It's got DRAM cache, a 1,400 TBW endurance rating, and a heatsink that actually fits under the PS5's drive cover. The 4.9-star rating from 673 reviews tells you most people walk away happy.
Common Questions
Q: Does this drive work with the PS5 Slim?
Yes, the MP600 Pro LPX fits both the original PS5 and the PS5 Slim. The low-profile heatsink is designed to clear the drive bay cover on both models.
Q: Do I need to buy a separate heatsink?
No, the heatsink comes pre-installed from the factory. It's specifically sized to fit under the PS5's expansion slot cover, so you don't need any extra parts.
Q: Is 2TB enough for a PS5?
For most people, yes. The PS5's internal storage is around 667GB usable, so adding 2TB gives you roughly triple the total space. That's enough for 20-30 large AAA games depending on size.
Who Should Skip This
PC builders should skip this unless you specifically need the low-profile heatsink for a cramped case. You're paying extra for PS5 compatibility you won't use. Also skip it if you're on a tight budget. There are cheaper Gen 4 drives with similar speeds that just need a $10 aftermarket heatsink. And if you're still on a PS4 or Xbox, this drive won't work in those consoles at all.
Verdict
If you've got a PS5 and you're tired of deleting games to make room, this is one of the easiest upgrades you can make. Pop it in, format it, done. The 2TB capacity doubles or quadruples your storage depending on which PS5 you own. PC gamers should probably look elsewhere unless they specifically want the low-profile heatsink for a compact build. But for console players, this is about as plug-and-play as storage upgrades get.
