Know before you buy
Yes, the active cooler requires a power connection to function. It is designed to keep the drive within optimal operating temperatures, which is essential for maintaining the high speeds associated with PCIe Gen5 performance.
The MP700 PRO uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor, so it will physically fit into most modern motherboard M.2 slots. However, because it includes an active cooler, you should ensure you have enough clearance in your case and around the motherboard socket to accommodate the added height.
Microsoft DirectStorage allows the SSD to communicate directly with your graphics card, bypassing the CPU for certain data transfers. This significantly reduces game load times and improves texture streaming in compatible titles.
The MP700 PRO is compatible with Windows 10 and 11, as well as macOS. Just ensure your motherboard supports PCIe Gen5 x4 for the best possible performance.
Yes, the drive supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption. This provides a secure layer of protection for your stored files directly at the hardware level.
This drive is rated for 700 TBW (Total Bytes Written). This indicates the total amount of data that can be written to the drive over its lifespan, which is robust enough for heavy gaming and daily productivity tasks.
