FAQs
Is the MSI SPATIUM M480 PRO compatible with my laptop or desktop?
Yes. The SPATIUM M480 PRO uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and PCIe NVMe interface. It's compatible with any device that has an M.2 NVMe slot, including most modern laptops and desktops. It also supports backward compatibility with PCIe Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1 systems.
What is the 700 TBW rating and why does it matter?
TBW (Terabytes Written) indicates how much data you can write to the drive over its lifetime. 700 TBW is a robust endurance rating suitable for demanding workloads. The 5-year warranty covers the drive or 700 TBW, whichever limit is reached first.
How does the 1GB DDR4 cache improve performance?
The DDR4 cache acts as fast temporary storage, allowing the controller to manage data transfers more efficiently. This improves random access performance and responsiveness, particularly during frequent small file operations and multitasking.
What are the power consumption characteristics?
The drive consumes up to 9.5W under maximum load, 40mW in idle mode, and just 3mW in low-power L1.2 mode. The low idle and sleep power consumption helps reduce overall system energy use, particularly in laptops.
Does the MSI SPATIUM M480 PRO include encryption?
Yes. The drive supports AES256/Pyrite encryption with end-to-end data path protection and LDPC error correction, ensuring data security and integrity for sensitive workloads.
What is the warranty coverage?
MSI provides a 5-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and failure. Coverage extends to the maximum 700 TBW endurance rating—whichever limit is reached first.
Will this SSD work in my older PCIe Gen3 system?
Yes. The SPATIUM M480 PRO is backward compatible with PCIe Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1 systems. It will operate at the speed supported by your system's interface, though you'll benefit from the drive's full 7400MB/s speed only with PCIe Gen4 support.
