If you’re looking to expand storage for your gaming PC or workstation without compromising responsiveness and snappiness, MSI’s SPATIUM M480 PRO is a great buy at the moment as it is at its lowest price point for the 1TB variant (purchase link under the specs table down below).
The M480 PRO is based on TLC NAND so that means it has excellent endurance which makes it suitable for longer read-write sessions than QLC SSDs. The drive also has its own DRAM cache for metadata caching and hence random access performance should be great too.
On the reliability side, the M480 PRO integrates several data protection features. These include end-to-end data path protection, error correction coding, and hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption. For users who want to track drive health, the unit supports monitoring through MSI Center software. MSI also bundles Actiphy’s backup and restore solution, which provides an additional layer of data security in case of a system failure.
