MSI SPATIUM M480 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The MSI SPATIUM M480 is a 1TB internal SSD built on the PCIe Gen4x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 support. It uses a PHISON E18 controller paired with 1GB of DDR4 cache and 3D NAND flash. The drive includes a bronze aluminium heatsink and offers AES 256 encryption with Pyrite support for data security.

Upgrade from SATA or Gen3 NVMe when sequential

Moving from a SATA 3 SSD or a PCIe Gen3 NVMe drive brings sequential reads up to 7000 MBps and writes up to 5500 MBps. Random performance reaches 350,000 IOPS read and 700,000 IOPS write. The 700 TBW endurance rating and 1,600,000 hour MTBF make the jump worthwhile for heavy workloads and large game libraries.

Aluminium heatsink sustains peak throughput under

The stacked-fin aluminium heatsink dissipates heat efficiently so the controller and NAND can maintain maximum speeds during extended transfers. Without thermal throttling the drive keeps sequential and random performance consistent across long rendering sessions or back-to-back gaming levels. MSI Center software adds drive health monitoring and migration tools.

Questions about this item

Will the 2280 heatsink clear my motherboard M.2 shield?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor with an integrated aluminum heatsink; verify your board's M.2 slot clearance before installing.

What is the correct way to seat the M.2 2280 card and where do installers go wrong?

Insert the notched edge into the PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 slot at a shallow angle, press down evenly, and secure the single standoff screw — the common error is tightening the screw before the PCB is fully flat.

When should I expect to replace the 1TB drive based on its endurance rating?

The drive is rated for 700 TBW and 1,600,000 hours MTBF; monitor health in MSI Center and plan replacement once written data approaches the TBW limit.
