Conclusion
Our numbers reinforce the top-tier nature of the Spatium M480.There is nothing revelatory with MSI arriving on the SSD scene. Complementing its wide range of components and peripherals, it makes a lot of sense for the Taiwanese giant to cosy on up to an established provider.
A Phison E18 controller and 96-layer Micron NAND is a great starting point for a high-end consumer SSD. Our numbers reinforce the top-tier nature of the Spatium M480 and the inclusion of the heatsink is an attractive and necessary value-add.
MSI adds to the growing arsenal of high-performance PC storage drives. As a new entry into a congested field, the Spatium M480 1TB needs to undercut the established competition and come in at £150.
