M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 drive for gamers and creators

The MSI SPATIUM M480 PRO is a 1TB internal SSD built on the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 protocol. It targets enthusiasts who need fast load times in games and responsive throughput for heavy productivity workloads.

Fits any M.2 2280 slot with PCIe 4.0 support

The 2280 form factor slides directly into a compatible motherboard or laptop slot. A 1GB DRAM cache handles mapping tables so the controller sustains high random performance without borrowing system memory.

TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. maintain health automatically

TRIM clears unused blocks in the background to preserve write speed and endurance. S.M.A.R.T. monitoring reports drive health so you can act before a failure interrupts work or play.

Questions about this item

Does the 1GB DRAM cache prevent throttling during long writes?

The 1GB DRAM cache sustains the 6000 MBps sequential write rating without relying on SLC caching fallback.

How hot does the M.2 2280 drive get under all-day load?

The controller is rated for standard operating temperatures; adding a motherboard heatsink keeps it within spec during continuous use.

Must my board have a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot?

Yes, the drive requires a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 slot and NVMe 1.4 support to reach 7400 MBps reads.
