MSI SPATIUM M480 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 S78-440L490-P83 1 TB
 | Outdated Product Relatively inexpensive, high-quality and fairly fast SSD drive with a capacity of 1 TB. Made in a compact form factor M.2 2280, so it can be used even in laptops and ultrabooks with a thin body. It is the first SSD from MSI with the official "Ready for PlayStation 5" medal. It is part of the MSI Spatium gaming line, with the help of which the Taiwanese brand quickly won its place in the SSD market. The MSI SPATIUM M480 is equipped with a Phison E18 quad buffer controller that supports the PCIe 4.0 4x communication bus, demonstrates high stability and does not suffer from speed drops, for which you need to thank the dedicated DRAM buffer and the impressive amount of SCL cache. The foundation is Micron's 176-layer TLC memory, which is a reliable and widely used option in both more affordable...and advanced SSD models. The drive claims a maximum sequential read speed of 7,000 MB/s, while random access performance reaches an impressive 700,000 IOPS, which exceeds Sony's requirements. To avoid overheating, the Spatium M480's circuit board has a thin-profile aluminium heatsink screwed to it, which slightly lowers the operating temperature of the device while still not interfering when installed inside the PS5 console. |
