MSI Reveals Spatium M570 PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD: Up to 12.3 GB/s
MSI on Thursday announced This time it’s the latest solid state drive with PCIe 5.0 x4 interface designed for AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 7000 and Intel’s 12th and 13th Gen Core platforms. The Spatium M570 PCIe Gen5 M.2-2280 SSD offers maximum performance enabled by Phison’s E26 platform and comes in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB configurations.
MSI’s Spatium M570 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 HS is based on the Phison PS5026-E26 controller paired with 3D TLC NAND memory and may feature a 2400 MT/s interface from an undisclosed vendor. We can assume that this is Micron. However, it doesn’t look like Micron will be mass-producing such memory this fall (at least not mass-producing), so the 12.4/10 GB/s sequential read/write speed drive could be months behind. there is. MSI-proven drives deliver up to 12,351 MB/s sequential read speed, up to 10,119 MB/s sequential write speed, 1.3 million 4K random read IOPS (Q32T16), and up to 1.16 million 4K random write IOPS. increase. (Q32T16), which is significantly higher than the best SSDs available today.
MSI says upcoming ultra-high-end MEG Godlike and MEC Ace motherboards will bundle M.2 Xpander-Z Gen5 dual adapters that can accommodate two PCIe Gen5 drives, resulting in nearly 70% faster transfer speeds in RAID 0 It specifically points out that it providesAccording to a press release issued by the configuration when compared to a single drive Tech Power Up.
MSI has not revealed when the Spatium M570 SSD will go on sale, but this could be the most important part of the announcement. As we know, some of his upcoming SSDs with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface based on Phison’s PS-5026-E26 controller are constrained by the 3D NAND memory they use and have a 10 GB/s Only sequential reading speed before and after can be achieved. This is significantly faster. ~12.4 GB/s demonstrated by Phison using drives with Micron’s 232-layer memory at 2400 MT/s interface speed, although lower than the ~7 GB/s offered by drives with PCIe 4.0 x4 interfaces lower than s.
We don’t know when MSI’s Spatium M570 product will hit the market, so it’s probably not good business to speculate on its price, but naturally, it comes with a premium for high performance.
