Get This Deal The 30-day average on this drive sits at $319.67, making today's price a genuine discount rather than typical fluctuation. Over the past 90 days the average has been $307.78, and the 180-day average lands at $224.98 -- though that figure reflects earlier pricing before the drive stabilized. At $290.13, you are saving nearly 10 percent versus where it has been living recently.

What You're Getting

The MP700 Elite is a Gen5 x4 NVMe drive rated for sequential reads up to 10,000MB/s and writes up to 8,500MB/s. Key specs include:

- PCIe 5.0 x4 controller for read, write, and response times that outpace Gen4 drives by a wide margin

- High-density 3D TLC NAND for a balance of endurance and sustained performance

- Pre-installed aluminum heatsink to keep thermal throttling in check under sustained loads

- Microsoft DirectStorage support for compatible games, letting the drive talk directly to your GPU for faster level loading

- M.2 2280 form factor fits most modern motherboards with a Gen5 slot

Who This Is For

Best for: PC builders upgrading from Gen3 or Gen4 storage who want the fastest possible game and application load times. If you work with large media files, run content creation workflows, or play DirectStorage titles, this drive will deliver a noticeable jump over older NVMe standards.

Skip it if your motherboard lacks a Gen5 M.2 slot or if you are content with Gen4 speeds for general use.

Final Verdict

The $290.13 price cuts through the usual Gen5 premium. If you have a compatible motherboard and want PCIe 5.0 transfer rates without paying the launch tax. This is the discount to act on.
