Computer hardware manufacturer MSI announced two new PCIe 5.0 SSDs this week, the Spatium M570 Pro and Spatium M570, which are the first PCIe 5.0 drives available for purchase as finished products. These SSDs use Phison's E26 controller and are available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, with or without heatsinks.
The features of the M570 Pro and M570 drives
The Spatium M570 Pro uses Micron's new 232-layer NAND flash memory, enabling it to achieve sequential read and write speeds of 12,000 and 10,000 MB/s respectively. The non-Pro Spatium M570, on the other hand, uses slower TLC memory, limiting it to a read speed of only 10,000 MB/s.
Performance and availability
During MSI's CES demo, we saw preliminary benchmark results for the Spatium M570 Pro, which showed that this drive offers significantly better performance than current top SSDs, such as the Samsung 990 Pro, which is rated at 7,450 MB/s read and 6,900 MB/s write. MSI will launch both drives in the second quarter of this year at undisclosed prices, and the M570 Pro will also be available as an option on the Raider GE78 HX and Titan GT77 HX laptops.
