Launched in September 2021, the MP600 Pro XT SSD series from Corsair is about to receive a new model. Indeed, an 8TB version has been spotted at a German retailer!
MP600 Pro XT: on the way to 8TB of storage?
For the time being, we learn that Corsair would be about to complete its MP600 Pro XT SSD range. The latter would receive a model offering a massive capacity of 8 TB, all with a PCIe 4.0 interface.
Internally, we would have the right to a Phison PS5018-E18 memory controller as well as TLC memory with 176 layers. Similarly, a DRAM cache in DDR4 is part of the game. On the security side, this version would benefit from an AES-256 bit encryption mechanism.
Concerning the performances, the sequential flows would be of 7,1 Go/s in reading and 6,1 Go/s in writing. The random performances would show the 950k IOPS in reading against 1200k IOPS in writing. That is to say a slightly lower performance than the 4Tb version… At least, if the data sheet of the retailer is correct.
As for the other models of the series, we find an aluminum heat sink. The aim is to reduce the temperature of the memory chips and the controller installed underneath. 
For the price, this model is already displayed at a German retailer at 1399,99 €. It’s hard to say if this price is credible or not. Note the use of the conditional throughout this article. According to Computer Base corsair has not yet presented this model.
