Power

3 of 6 differ

Power while reading (claimed)iMaker's average power during sequential reads, including a figure given at the full read speed. A single average or active figure with no read and write split, such as Corsair's, is stored in both read and write, and the source note says so. A maximum figure, such as Kingston's (MAX) Read, is a peak and is not stored.

Not available

5.7W14Maker product pagecorsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/storage/mp600-elite-vs-mp600-gsRead 15 October 2026Blog says the MP600 ELITE has an average power consumption of 5.7W, against 5.3W for the MP600 GS. It does not split reads and writes and names no capacity. Multitronic lists 5.7 W average on the 2TB heatsink listing, so it is stored for the 2TB base and read and write alike. The 1TB (5.6 W, WatercoolingUK) and 4TB (5.8 W active, distributor feed) rows follow the same single figure21Retailer pagemultitronic.fi/en/products/4272779/corsair-mp600-elite-heatsink-2-tb-m-2-pcie-4-0-nvme-ssdRead 15 October 2026Listing says Power consumption (average) 5.7 W for the 2TB, which matches the 5.7 W Corsair gives in its ELITE vs GS blog

Power while writing (claimed)iMaker's average power during sequential writes. A single average or active figure with no read and write split is stored in both read and write, and the source note says so. A maximum figure, such as Kingston's (MAX) Write, is a peak and is not stored.

Max power consumption (claimed)iMaker's peak or maximum power figure. Not the average while reading or writing. Kingston publishes max read and max write power apart. Store the higher one and name both in the source note.

4.1W6Reviewtomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/corsair-mp600-core-mini-ssd-reviewRead 15 October 2026Corsair rates the drive at a maximum 4.0W and 4.1W for the 1TB and 2TB SKUs. StorageReview prints the same two numbers as R 4.0 and R 4.1, with W 3.8 and W 3.9, under Power Consumption R/W. The maker's wording is not available, so only the maximum is stored and the read and write fields are left empty

Not available

Average power in light use (claimed)iMaker's average over a mixed client workload such as MobileMark. Not idle power and not read or write power.

Not available

Not available

Idle power (claimed)iMaker's idle power in the PS3 state with APST on, or the state the maker calls low-power idle. On a SATA drive, Slumber counts as low-power idle. A plain idle figure with no low-power state, often near 1 W, is active idle and is not stored. Samsung's Idle with DIPM on is a SATA link power state, so it counts as low-power idle.
