MSI introduces Spatium M580 Frozr, a PCIe 5.0 SSD rated for 14.6 GB/s read and 12.7 GB/s write

Official render of the MSI Spatium M580 Frozr, the fastest current NVMe Gen 5 SSD.

MSI today announced the MSI Spatium M580 Frozr an NVMe drive with a bulky attached air cooler rated to achieve speeds as high as 14.6 GB/s. The tall heatsink includes three heatpipes, but no fans, making this by far the largest passive SSD cooler we've ever seen.

According to an MSI blog post e that massive air cooler reduces operating temperatures by up to 20 degrees Celsius by leveraging its heatpipes and aluminum fins. If the performance numbers of 14.6 GB/s read speeds and 12.7 GB/s write speeds provided by MSI are true, it makes sense that the new fastest SSDs on the market would need some extra cooling headroom.
