MSI Spatium M570 Frozr 2TB M.2 Gen5 SSD Review

MSI rated this drive for an impressive 12400 MB/s read and 11800 MB/s write and clearly, we got pretty damn close to that right out of the box. It scored an impressive 12386.92 MB/s, only 13 MB/s off the target, which is incredible! While also being remarkably close to the write performance, scoring 11693.25 MB/s

IPS look great too, scoring over 11,000 in SEQ1M on both read and write, not that I was expecting them to be low!

Anvil managed to hit some of the highest scores we’ve seen to date, even surpassing the Corsair MP700 drive from a few weeks ago which topped out at 32750 points, and that drive was the fastest we’ve ever tested… for a few weeks.

Things look really good in ATTO, with the drive getting near its top speed from around 128 KB and up, peaking from 4 MB transfers and staying stable all the way to 64 MB.

AS SSD often shows results lower than the other benchmarks, but it’s still over 9000! This is again the fastest I’ve ever seen in this benchmark, giving it a total score of 13837 points.

Copy speeds are just insanely fast, being able to transfer ISO, Program or Game in less than a second.

The IOPS confirm the truly incredible throughput of this drive, hitting a staggering 953768 IOPS in the 4K-64Thrd test.

Want to use this drive to capture real-time video? No problem, it captures 5K RED raw camera footage without breaking a sweat.

And when it comes to times for gaming, it’s as fast as they come, with the drive able to respond so fast, you can use quick save and quick load in a way that feels practically instant.

Finally, in the Endwalker Benchmark, it scored an impressive 15458 points, with ext

When it comes to maxing out this drive, the cooler does an incredible job. If you run an M.2 PCIe 5 drive without a heatsink, it can quickly exceed 100c, which causes it to throttle and this will slow down the drive. However, this drive never exceeded 65c in the most extreme sustained loads, meaning it’s about 40c away from any thermal issues!
