MSI Spatium M560 2TB M.2 NVME Gen5 Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The MSI Spatium M560 is a 2TB PCIe Gen 5 NVMe solid state drive designed for enthusiast gamers and demanding productivity users who need the fastest available consumer storage. Built on the PCIe Gen5x4 interface with the NVMe 2.0 protocol, it leverages a Phison E31T controller paired with 3D NAND flash memory to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 10,300 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 8,700 MB/s — representing a meaningful leap over PCIe Gen 4 alternatives. Random performance is equally strong: the drive reaches up to 1,300,000 IOPS on random 4K reads and up to 1,400,000 IOPS on random 4K writes, making it well-suited for fast game loading, large asset transfers, and multi-threaded workloads. The M.2 2280 form factor (80 mm × 22 mm × 2.15 mm) fits most modern desktop and laptop M.2 slots, and backward compatibility with PCIe Gen 4, Gen 3, Gen 2, and Gen 1 platforms means it can be adopted before a full system upgrade. Data integrity is maintained through an LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) ECC algorithm, End-to-End Data Path Protection, and SMART self-monitoring. The TRIM command supports ongoing performance optimisation on compatible operating systems, while APST (Autonomous Power State Transition) allows the drive to scale power consumption down to 3.5 mW in its L1.2 low-power state and 50 mW at PS3 idle, with a maximum operating draw of 5.9 W. Endurance is rated at 1,200 TBW (Terabytes Written) with a mean time between failure (MTBF) of up to 1,500,000 hours. MSI backs the drive with a 5-year limited warranty, valid until the stated TBW cap is reached — whichever occurs first. Drive health and performance metrics can be monitored through MSI Center, and the bundled Actiphy ActiveImage Protector software provides backup and disaster-recovery functionality.
