![]() Who cares what model or brand it is as long as it gets the job done and has appropriate power conditioning, good input filtering caps (Y filter pattern FTW) high quality electrolytics and a well designed switching circuit.Ĭase: Its a metal box that parts are mounted in. Max speed from one drive to another AFTER DRAM and over provisioning expenditure with very large sequential read/writes: 2-3GB/s depending on drive adjacency. All using 64k cluster size (reduces MFT latency when assigning or reading block checksums, making read/write faster) All running full PCI-E 4x4. Solidigm 2TB P44 in slot 3 for back up purposes. 4TB WD SN850X in slot two solely for games. Both read/write 225-250MB/s steady sequential after cache expenditure.ġTB hynix P41 for OS only in slot 1. Pulls almost 600Watts in both cases despite the whining and gnashing of teeth of "the community" at the "paltry" 525W PL in the VBIOS.ġx8TB and 1x16TB HGST SATA3 rust spinners for mass data retention. 30 minutes: 65C with 90% fans.įurmark torture loop: maxes 3+GHz.

MSI X570 Unify (oh no the NB fan is so loud how will I survive even though it prevents it from flying up to 90C!)Ħ4GB gSkill (2x32GB) 4000 (downclocked and overvolted to get tighter timings running 1:1:1)ĥ950X tweaked to get all core all thread 4.5-4.6GHz AVX (CB23 AVG 29.5k to 30.5k pts)Ĭorsair H115i 280 AIO modified. Yeah, I think I'll be fully encasing my nvme's NAND chips and controller and keep air moving over them, TYVM. Okay sure, I'll make sure to totally not do that, even though doing real world stress transfer tests (like copying a 150+GB archive from one drive to another with 64k clusters, then touching the exposed NAND BGAs til I figure which one is taking the entire sequential write after DRAM and over provisioning is expended) is CLEARLY getting very warm because the 1TB NAND BGA (tested this on a 2TB Soldigm P44 and a 2TB Hynix P41) is getting written to sequentially at 2-2.5 GB/s, and is pulling at least as much power as the controller itself. ![]() Since PCIe Gen5 platforms and appropriate drives are quite expensive, lots of enthusiasts might prefer to upgrade their current systems with a new graphics card and a higher-capacity, and still speedier SSD instead of investing in a brand-new platform.Īddressing the fleet of PCIe Gen4-supporting PCs waiting for an SSD upgrade makes a lot of sense, as many mainstream PCIe Gen4-supporting computers shipped with PCIe 3.0 or mediocre PCIe Gen 4 drives, in which case a drive like the M480 Pro would be a speedy and (in the case of the 4TB model at least) spacious upgrade.Įdzieba said:(please do not attempt to cool the NAND dies, it will only reduce drive longevity) While some enthusiasts are lining up to get the best SSDs with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface to take advantage of their shiny new AMD Ryzen 7000 or Intel 12th and 13th Gen Core platforms, there is still life (and speed) in PCIe Gen4 systems. MSI will offer three versions of its Spatium M480 Pro SSDs: the vanilla M480 Pro that comes with a thin graphene heatspreader to maximize compatibility with desktops and laptops, the M480 Pro HS that comes with a rather massive heatsink, and the M480 Pro Play that is optimized for Sony's PlayStation 4 and comes with an appropriate radiator. Other characteristics, such as TBW endurance, MTBF, and five-year limited warranty remain unchanged. So this drive definitely isn't going to be shipping in laptops. But this comes at an up to 9.5W maximum operating power, up from 6.6W in the case of the original model. ![]() This is significantly higher when compared to the performance of MSI's vanilla Spatium M480, which only delivers up to 350K/700K random read/write 4K IOPS. Speaking of performance, with MSI's Spatium M480 Pro, we are looking at up to 7400 MB/s sequential read speed and up to 6000 MB/s sequential write speed, as well as up to 750K random read 4KB IOPS and up to 1M random write 4KB IOPS. So it looks like the company reworked the firmware of these drives and quite possibly made some hardware-related changes too. But the M480 Pro SSDs feature up to 60% higher random read/write performance at a cost of a 44% higher peak power consumption. Just like other members of MSI's Spatium M480 family, Spatium M480 Pro drives are based around Phison's PS5018-E18 platform and use 3D TLC NAND memory.
