SPATIUM M470 1TB NVMe Drive

The SPATIUM M470 is a 1TB internal SSD built on 3D NAND with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 support. It targets enthusiasts and gamers who need fast sequential throughput for large files and reduced game load times. The PHISON E16 controller and 1GB DDR4 cache handle sustained workloads across desktop and notebook platforms. Endurance is rated at 1600 TBW with a 1700000 hour MTBF.

M.2 2280 Installation Notes

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and installs directly into a compatible motherboard or laptop slot with a single screw. No cables or drive bays are required. Common issues include motherboards that default the slot to PCIe 3.0 speeds or share lanes with other devices, which limits the 5000 MBps read potential. Ensure the BIOS is updated and the correct NVMe mode is selected before cloning or installing an operating system.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous write loads the controller manages thermal output through APST power states and the LDPC ECC algorithm maintains data integrity. Sequential write speeds of up to 4400 MBps are maintained until the SLC cache fills, after which native TLC performance takes over. The 1600 TBW rating and end-to-end data path protection are designed for multi-year workloads such as video editing, large dataset processing and heavy gaming sessions. Idle power draw sits at 20 mW.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the SPATIUM M470 is running at PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 speeds after installation?

Check the drive in Windows Device Manager or a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo; it should report a PCIe 4.0 x4 link and NVMe 1.3. Run a sequential benchmark — reads near 5000 MBps and writes near 4400 MBps indicate the interface is operating at full Gen4 width.

What comes in the box with the 1TB SPATIUM M470 and what must I supply?

The package contains the M.2 2280 SSD only. You must provide a motherboard or laptop with a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot and, if your board requires it, an M.2 mounting screw. No heatsink, cable or adapter is included.

Which capacity of the SPATIUM M470 should I choose for a primary gaming drive?

The 1TB model delivers 1600 TBW endurance and up to 5000 MBps read / 4400 MBps write. If you install many large titles or keep a sizable media library, the 2TB version doubles capacity while keeping the same speed and endurance rating per terabyte.
