Demand must have been so high that Corsair pulled the MP700 off of their webshop. I ordered one while there was still stock available. Hope to see this Tuesday or Wednesday.

Twice the price for 40% more performance and "Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 months." Yup that is a great deal. Makes Ngreedia look good, LOL!!!

Looks like Corsair completely underestimated demand for this item.

What they have underestimated is the mad flocking behaviour of the "early adopter". I go in the other direction; last gen's prices usually fall. The "early adopter" is most often actualy a Beta Tester. Come to think of it, reviewers are often in that position, hence "the silicon lottery" (Shouldn't that be silly-CON?) and "launch-day bios/early drivers" prominence as caveat in reviews. Not that this is made obvious; this is usually coupled with some ego-massaging fluff about how competent and quick off the mark bios and driver teams are. If they are that good, shouldn't all that have been rectified before launch?


Congratulations on getting in under the wire about getting one of these; and fingers crossed it does what it says on the tin. I envy you the bump in performance, and the pleasure; but not sufficiently to take that gamble myself or the hit on my wallet for what seems a poor return on investment.

At least the price is far lower than some other Gen 5 M.2 SSDs that have hit the market.

Nice sequential speeds there, can you do a test with the settings in my screenshot below?

I might buy one if the RND4k Q1T1 are better than my 990 Pro

I'll wait for the always better Samsung model.

 

[Deadtroopers]

I certainly like the write speeds. leased1: looks like they are better than advertised. Very happy for you; enjoy!
