SSD prices are rising, but this Corsair 2TB SSD just plummeted to its lowest price ever

There are hints that gaming SSD prices are on the rise, but that isn't the case for this Corsair MP700 Elite drive. With a healthy 12% discount, it just hit its lowest ever price and makes for one of the most affordable 2TB SSD options you can buy right now.

This might not be the very fastest drive around, but with Corsair consistently churning out some of the best gaming SSDs available, it's a decent option, whether for a primary boot drive or a secondary drive.

Initially priced at $254.99, the cost of this drive has steadily dropped over the last year, but today's discount has seen its price slashed from $180 to just $158. The resulting deal makes it a must-grab if you're on the hunt for a high-capacity upgrade.

The Corsair MP700 Elite is a PCIe 5 drive with speeds of up to 10,000MB/s sequential read and 8,500MB/s sequential write, which isn't hugely fast compared to premium PCIe 5 drives, such as the WD Black SN8100. However, this is still plenty fast enough for rapid file transfers and for ensuring games installed on the drive load quickly. Just don't pick this model for running a local LLM.

With a 1,200TBW rating, this drive can also deal with being filled and emptied of data many times over, ensuring it should outlast any regular PC use. It also comes with a five-year warranty, further bringing peace of mind that your data is safe.

Available with and without a heatspreader to help keep it cool, this discount is only available on the version without a heatspreader, but it isn't a hugely hot-running drive, and the SSD heatsink on your motherboard should be ample for ensuring it doesn't overheat.
