Corsair MP600 Core and MP600 Pro M.2 NVMe SSDs launched

[HEXUS]

And they are joined by the MP600 Pro Hydro X Edition with integrated water block.

Having dabbled in a custom loop before, the thought of having your SSD/storage as part of it would still fill me with unease.

Buyers of all the above SSDs get the Corsair SSD Toolbox software bundled

That's a shame. For this sort of money you should get something usable. My last SSD was a WD Black, the slightly better performance, lower price and free game was nice but really the idea that I wouldn't have to touch SSD Toolbox was what clinched it for me.

Yeh, I have to say that thing has been a total letdown for me.

The custom loop thing strikes me as kind of unnecessary as this is rarely a real bottleneck. If your storage requirements are such that controller throttling is an issue, this is not the solution. As above, you also want a set up that will have a good chance of preserving your data should the worst happen with a water cooling set up.

Maybe I'm just an idiot.

Isn't there also something about pcie ssd performance being worse if they're too cold as well...

Yes , I read that in a few places about not working as well when too cool.

On a side note when are Corsair going to come out with water cooled mice ?

Cant be worse then watercooled RAM, and i did that years ago with OCZ RAM

I am a little perplexed it seem to be geared for fairly thick tubing, i would thing something less substantial was enough.

I have lined up for hard lining my next build ( first time hard line ) and TBH i am contemplating to change to tube again, little reason for hard line as there will be no window in the case, and tubing can be made to look sufficient orderly.

Maybe i will do a little of both.

I think I'd be more concerned with the block leaking than the NVMe drive throttling due to heat issues / poor heatsink ventilation. Especially when Corsair cheaped out with their leaky XG7 2080Ti block by missing a single screw out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmQdZ79RFuc).

[Gentle Viking]

Haha i forgot about that one.
Though i dont think they cheaped out, but their QA / engineer wasent on the ball with that one for sure.

The factory WC enabled OCZ RAM i used, well the sticks also died pretty fast, first time i had problems with OCZ RAM which i up until then always used.

Not sure I can trust Corsair full waterblock solutions for anything...

WD Black SN850s are still the King.
