M480 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive

The MSI SPATIUM M480 is a 2TB internal SSD built on a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 support. It uses 3D NAND flash and a PHISON E18 controller paired with 2GB of DDR4 cache. The M.2 2280 form factor includes an integrated aluminium heatsink for thermal management.

Suits high-capacity gaming and content workloads

This drive targets users who need sustained throughput for large game libraries, video projects or heavy multitasking. The 1400 TBW rating and 1.6 million hour MTBF back endurance for frequent writes. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 or SATA interfaces will not realise the stated sequential speeds.

Aluminium heatsink sustains peak throughput

The stacked-fin heatsink dissipates heat so the controller can maintain up to 7000 MBps read and 6800 MBps write during extended transfers. Random performance reaches 650000 IOPS read and 700000 IOPS write under load. LDPC error correction and end-to-end data path protection preserve integrity without throttling.

Questions about this item

Will the aluminum heatsink fit under my motherboard's M.2 shield?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor with an integrated aluminum heatsink. Most motherboard shields accommodate this height, but check your board's clearance if the shield sits very close to the PCB.

Does the 2 GB DDR4 cache improve everyday responsiveness?

The onboard 2 GB DDR4 cache buffers write bursts and metadata, helping sustain the rated 7000 MBps read and 6800 MBps write speeds during heavy workloads.

Is 1400 TBW enough for a gaming and content-creation drive?

At 1400 TBW you could write the full 2 TB capacity hundreds of times over; typical gaming and video workloads consume a small fraction of that endurance.
