Know before you buy
The MP600 PRO XT uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor. However, because it comes with a pre-installed aluminum heatsink, you should ensure your device has enough physical clearance to accommodate the added height.
Yes, to achieve the maximum sequential read speeds of 7,000MB/s, your motherboard must support PCIe Gen 4.0. While it is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 3.0 slots, your speeds will be significantly limited by the older interface.
The heatsink is designed to be a permanent part of the drive to ensure optimal thermal management. Removing it may void your warranty and is not recommended, as the drive requires active cooling to maintain its peak performance.
With a Total Bytes Written (TBW) rating of 6,000, this drive is built for heavy-duty use. The high capacity combined with 3D TLC NAND technology provides excellent longevity, making it suitable for professional media editing and extensive game libraries.
Yes, the MP600 PRO XT features built-in AES 256-bit hardware encryption. This allows you to secure your data at the drive level without putting additional strain on your system's processor.
The drive is compatible with both operating systems, provided your hardware has an available M.2 2280 slot. Note that for macOS users, compatibility is limited to systems that allow for internal storage upgrades.
