The AMD AM5 platform will be fully compatible with Corsair’s upcoming MP700 PCIe Gen 5 M.2 SSD, which has been teased by the company. Corsair claims that development on its upcoming MP700 SSD, which complies fully with PCIe Gen 5 standard, has already begun. The next-generation SSD will have an x4 NVMe 2.0 interface and be M.2 compliant. While Corsair hasn’t yet provided specifics about the SSD’s specifications, they have provided performance data.

### **Corsair claims that the MP700 PCIe Gen 5 M.2 SSD can write at 9,500 MB/s and read at 10,000 MB/s (Sequentially).**

Different models will have different speeds (such as capacities). The MP700 will provide up to 64% faster read and 41% faster write rates when compared to Corsair’s fastest drive at the moment, the MP600 PRO XT.

Given that the existing drives are based on the Phison E18 controller, the high-end Gen 5 controller from Phison will undoubtedly power it. The drive will deliver approximately 28.5% fewer speeds than the controller is capable of at 10,000 MB/s read rates. The Gen 5 SSDs from Corsair may also fully support AMD’s Smart Access Storage (SAS) and Microsoft DirectStorage APIs. It’s interesting to note that the majority of Gen 5 SSD producers, including Phison itself, have picked AMD for their upcoming Gen 5 SSD solution demonstrations.

AMD has stated that it will later this month introduce its next-generation Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs and the corresponding AM5 platform, so we can anticipate the introduction of the company’s next-generation SSD products soon after.
