MSI has expanded its Spatium M570 SSD family. The new MSI Spatium M570 Pro Frozr PCIe 5.0 SSD’s main distinguishing feature is its sizable passive cooler, which is nearly 72 mm tall. It is claimed that the fitting of the chunky heatpipe threaded cooling block you can see in the images results in “a temperature reduction of up to 20 degrees Celsius.”
MSI debuted the Spatium M570 PCIe Gen5 SSD in September 2022, superseded by the Spatium M570 HS model in March 2023. Both these models come with a far smaller form factor, using a compact cooling solution forged from copper. However, the newer HS model scaled back max read-write speeds from 12.3 and 10 GB/s to 10 and 9.5 GB/s. We note that the new Pro Frozr model’s data sheet (PDF) more than restores performance, with transfers up to 12.4 and 11.8 GB/s.
