Aside from DirectStorage and even then, relatively speaking, you won't need 7 GB/sec SSD reading and writing performance on your storage unit anytime soon, but if you want it, you can. and the best part is, MSI does provide it for 18~19 cents per GB. Th...
Amazing real-life performance, PCI-Express 4.0 support, Impressive synthetic benchmark results, Excellent sustained write performance (for a TLC drive), Heatsink included, No thermal throttling when heatsink installed, DRAM cache, Large pSLC cache, Five-y
Expensive, Thermal throttling when highly loaded (without a heatsink), Largest capacity available is 2 TB, Thermal reporting inaccurate
The MSI Spatium M480 2 TB SSD is expected to retail for around $440. Amazing real-life performance PCI-Express 4.0 support Impressive synthetic benchmark results Excellent sustained write performance (for a TLC drive) Heatsink included No thermal throttl...
MSI's entrance into the storage market brings forth two very competitive products, the M480 and M470. The M480 is aimed at the high-end segment with pricing at $439 US for the 2 TB and $189 US for the 1 TB model. Both are paired with 96 Layer 3D TLC NAND...

Overall performance, Endurance, Well designed and effective heatsink,

Honestly, this drive isn't for everyone. For starters, it's going to be very expensive, and while the performance is exceptional, a more affordable model with lesser performance may be more than enough for your typical high-end PC build. However, if you'v...
Phison E18 based design with PCIe Gen 4.0 Speeds, Competitively priced
Heatsink height clearance might be a problem with some graphics cards
The Spatium M480 marks a stellar entry for MSI into the storage segment with transfer speeds that easily cross the 7000 MBps mark providing serious competition to the likes of Samsung, WD and others who follow similar designs using the Phison E18 controll...
