Verdict and Conclusion
For those who don’t know, a PCIE Gen5 SSD can run extremely hot, and without adequate cooling, the performance of your SSD can drop due to throttling. This is why we see a lot of large M.2 heatsinks on newer motherboards that can support PCIE Gen5 M.2 SSDs.
Luckily, the MSI Gaming SPATIUM M570 PRO PCIe 5.0 2TB SSD feature their FROZR passive thermal cooling solution with triple core heatpipes, elevated heatsinks, as well as a well-routed design for optimal cooling performance. This can reduce temperatures by up to 20° Celsius.
As for the rest of the specs, the SPATIUM M570 PRO supports the latest PCIE 5.0 interface and NVMe 2.0 standards. It uses Micron 232-layer 3D TLC NAND chips, and comes with 4GB of DDR4 DRAM cache to improve performance. It also. It’s available in capacities of 1TB, 2TB and 4TB options.
During our tests, the MSI Gaming SPATIUM M570 PRO produced excellent scores in all of our benchmarks. In our Crystalmark 16GB disk tests, it produced a Read Speed of 12,129.90 MB/sec which is just shy of the advertised speed of 12,400 MB/sec … I’m OK with the that. For Write speeds, it reached a high of 11,581.77 MB/sec, which again is just slightly below the 11,800 MB/sec .
I’m not a big fan of huge heatsinks on M.2 SSDs (personal preference), but if it does a better job of cooling the PCIE Gen5 SSD over your motherboard’s M.2 heatsinks … then why not. The overall height if the Frozr heatsink is fairly high measuring 37mm, so make sure your motherboard is compatible with SPATIUM M570 PRO.
You can buy the MSI Gaming SPATIUM M570 PRO PCIe 5.0 2TB SSD for around CAD $342 from Amazon CA – https://amzn.to/4l9O0JA or USD $296 from Newegg – https://tinyurl.com/5e4d6jkn
