Capacity and form factor

The MSI SPATIUM M480 is a 2TB internal solid state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor. It targets consumer desktops and notebooks that need high-capacity storage for games, media and heavy workloads.

PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe 1.4 interface

The drive connects through a PCIe Gen4x4 link and complies with the NVMe 1.4 specification. This single interface choice determines whether the host platform can deliver the rated 7000 MBps read and 6800 MBps write throughput.

Sustained operation with 2GB DDR4 cache

A 2GB DDR4 cache and the PHISON E18 controller absorb write bursts before flushing to 3D NAND, keeping performance stable during long transfers. End-to-end data path protection and LDPC error correction maintain data integrity across the 1400 TBW endurance rating.

Questions about this item

What does the 7000 MBps sequential read mean once the drive is installed?

The drive can move large files at up to 7000 MBps when the host supports PCIe Gen4x4 and NVMe 1.4, though actual throughput depends on the system configuration.

How does the PCIe Gen4x4 interface limit performance in practice?

The four-lane Gen4 link caps bandwidth at the rated 7000 MBps read and 6800 MBps write; a Gen3 slot would restrict speeds to that generation's ceiling.

What physical slot and clearance does the M.2 2280 form factor need?

It fits a standard M.2 2280 key-M slot on desktop or notebook motherboards and requires no heatsink clearance because the drive ships without one.
