  • The SSD is one of the first to support the PCIe 4.0 standard.
  • The 1TB model will be available for $250 and the 2TB model will be available for $450.

Updated June 26, 2019: The listing has been pulled but it's likely we'll see it go back up for preorder soon. The original story follows.

Pricing details are available for the Corsair MP600, one of the fastest SSDs on the market. The 1TB version of the MP600 is now listed on Amazon for $250 and the 2TB version is listed at $450. The SSD was unveiled by Corsair in late May.

The MP600 is one of the first SSDs to support the PCIe 4.0 standard, which means that it can handle incredibly fast read and write speeds. Corsair states that the MP600 has a read speed of 4,950MB/s and a write speed of 4,250MB/s.

To take advantage of the full read and write speeds, you'll need a PC setup with the appropriate hardware. A combination of the upcoming Ryzen 3000 and the x570 will be the only hardware setup capable of handling the speed of the MP600.

The Corsair MP600 is available for preorder now. Amazon lists the release date of the new SSD as July 1, 2019.
