Since 2021, the well-known manufacturer MSI has also been on the move with the SPATIUM models in the SSD segment. And with the SPATIUM M480 series, NVMe SSDs with the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface are also provided, which certainly don’t have to hide from the competition. Today MSI announced the even faster SPATIUM M480 PRO series. There are still three variants to choose from: without a cooler, with a cooler and an optimized version for Sony’s PlayStation 5.
The non-pro version of MSI’s SPATIUM M480 series offered a sequential read rate of up to 7,000 MB/s, while the SPATIUM M480 PRO offers up to 7,400 MB/s and thus makes full use of the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. The 1 TB version of the M480 was specified with up to 5,600 MB/s writing, whereas the 2 TB variant was significantly faster with up to 6,800 MB/s. With the SPATIUM M480 PRO, the write value was increased to 7,000 MB/s. In addition to the 1 TB and 2 TB capacity sizes, there is also a large 4 TB model, the M480 PRO. Of course, a DRAM cache and an SLC cache are included, although the respective capacities are not known.
The exact model designation of the SPATIUM-M480-PRO series must be differentiated, regardless of the storage capacity. Because while the SPATIUM M480 PRO has to do without a cooler entirely, MSI also packs a good-looking bronze heat sink into the SPATIUM M480 PRO HS (heatsink), which is said to reduce the temperature under load by up to 20°C.
SPACE M480 PRO PLAY für die PS5
Cooler-optimized for use in Sony’s PlayStation 5, MSI also provides the SPATIUM M480 PRO PLAY in the 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB expansion stages. The technical data are kept identical. Only the cooler has been optimized for the M.2 M-Key slot in the PS5. Don’t be fooled by the product image, as this is from the non-pro version.
5 year warranty
MSI grants a warranty period of 5 years for the SPATIUM M480 PRO series. In general, there should be a correspondingly high TBW value, even MSI unfortunately did not mention these values. At least for the non-Pro version with 2 TB it is 1.4 PB (petabytes). The prices and availability are also unknown.
