The drive comes in a fairly compact box with a clear image of the drive on the front. Under the image is a strip label with performance figures for Sequential and 4K performance as well as the drive’s capacity. The rear of the box has multilingual information about the drive's performance and the fact it uses 3D QLC NAND.

The 2TB MP400 is built on a double-sided M.2 2280 format, although having said that, the only thing making it double-sided is the single DRAM chip (Nanya NT5CC256M16ER-EK, DDR3-1866) built on one side of the PCB. All the other major components are built on the other side of the PCB; Phison PS5012-E12S controller, four packages of 3D QLC NAND (coded IA7HG66AWA) and a second DRAM chip.

Corsair’s SSD management utility is called SSD Toolbox. It provides drive information and S.M.A.R.T details and also supports firmware updates, secure wiping of the drive, drive optimisation and incorporates a disk cloning utility.
