Corsair MP600 Pro LPX 4TB -- High-Capacity PS5 PCIe 4.0 NVMe Review
The Corsair MP600 Pro LPX 4 TB takes the Phison E18 platform to near-maximum consumer capacity, delivering 3,000 TBW of endurance and full Gen4 throughput in a PS5-optimized package.
At 4 TB, the LPX populates all eight E18 channels with high-density Micron 3D TLC NAND, delivering 7,100/6,800 MB/s with endurance scaling to 3,000 TBW. The double-sided PCB accommodates eight NAND packages, and the factory low-profile aluminium heatsink is identical across the LPX lineup. The 4 TB variant targets PS5 owners with large digital libraries and desktop users needing a fast 4 TB active-project volume. Laptop compatibility is limited due to the double-sided PCB and permanent heatsink.

🚀 Performance and benchmarks
The 4 TB LPX delivers 7,100/6,800 MB/s with the E18 pseudo-SLC cache scaling generously at this capacity -- roughly 300-400 GB of burst writes at full speed. Content creators working with large media files benefit from the massive cache. Gaming load times are indistinguishable from any PCIe 4.0 drive.
