Performance and Convenience with Corsair M600 PRO LPX SSD
For owners of a next-gen console, specifically the PlayStation 5, the Corsair M600 PRO LPX is one of the best examples of the valuable help you’ll inevitably need for your gaming life. With games easily approaching or exceeding 100GB, services providing constant updates, managing storage space can be a daily struggle.
Extra SSDs like the Corsair M600 PRO LPX come to the rescue, allowing you to easily install new games without the need to constantly juggle space. The model Corsair provided for testing is a 2TB Corsair M600 PRO LPX, and considering the PS5 houses games like Cyberpunk 2077, Gran Turismo 7, and Final Fantasy 16, space management was crucial. Having extra storage space that is easy to install on a PS5 is essential, but above all, performance is what really matters. After all, we don’t want to gain more space and sacrifice precious performance.
Tests
To showcase the impressive capabilities of the Corsair M600 PRO LPX, which delivers performance very close to the console’s built-in SSD, we recorded loading times to access games. Whether from the console menu or the in-game menu, games load at great speeds and the Corsair M600 PRO LPX won’t compromise your experience.
These tests, where applicable, were done with constant X button pressing to skip any logo scenes that may appear before reaching the main menu. In some cases where games connect to the internet for data verification, which increases wait time, we did not time that.
Update: added loading times for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
Let’s dive into the tests:
Price
The Corsair M600 PRO LPX is available for 209 euros on the official Corsair website for this 2TB capacity, but you can opt for other storage capacities like 500GB, 1TB, 4TB, and even 8TB, all compatible with the PS5 if that’s your main purpose for buying an extra SSD.
The model tested here is the 2TB one, and despite the performance remaining the same, the capacity may offer the best value between storage space and price. That being said, you can purchase the Corsair M600 PRO LPX on sale on Amazon for less than 170 euros, below the recommended price.
