MSI this week introduced its third SSD with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. The new Spatium M570 HS drive may be considered as a downgraded version of the Spatium M570 SSD introduced last September as it has lower performance and will only offer up to 10GB/s sequential read/write speeds, enough to be among the best SSDs available today. Like most SSDs, the latest drive also comes with data backup software, which will be handy for both enthusiasts and prosumers.
MSI's Spatium M570 HS drives are based upon Phison's PS5026-E26 controller as well as 3D TLC NAND memory and will come in 1TB and 2TB configurations. The manufacturer rates 2TB version of its Spatium M570 HS for up to 10GB/s sequential read and write speed as well as random read/write speeds of up to 1.4M/1.5M 4K IOPS. The SSD comes in an M.2 2280 form factor and is equipped with a large copper heatsink to ensure consistent performance under high loads.
