MSI SPATIUM M470 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2TB internal SSD

Capacity and interface

The MSI SPATIUM M470 is a 2TB internal SSD built for consumers who need fast, reliable storage. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and connects through a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3 support. The PHISON E16 controller and 2GB DDR4 cache handle demanding workloads in desktops and notebooks alike.

Upgrade path and value

Moving from a SATA SSD or mechanical drive to this PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD brings sequential reads up to 5000 MBps and writes up to 4400 MBps. The jump is worth it when applications, game loads or large file transfers benefit from the higher throughput and 600000 IOPS random performance. Endurance is rated at 3300 TBW with a 1700000 hour MTBF.

Sustained load behavior

End-to-end data path protection, LDPC error correction and Pyrite encryption maintain data integrity during prolonged writes. TRIM and APST keep performance consistent by managing free blocks and power states without user intervention. The 3D NAND flash and controller firmware are designed to sustain rated speeds across extended sessions rather than only in short bursts.
