The Corsair SSD also delivers outstanding random read and write performance, which is important for working with small files and for use as a primary system drive. It supports Microsoft DirectStorage and is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 motherboards.

Form factor – M.2 2280. For optimal performance, good cooling is required. An active cooler option is available for cases where the motherboard does not have radiators.
