Frequently asked questions about this product
Does this Gen4 SSD work on an older motherboard?
Yes. The Spatium M450 is stated to be backward compatible with PCIe Gen3, Gen2 and Gen1: it can be installed on virtually any motherboard with an M.2 NVMe slot. It is then the bus that caps the speed, not the drive, and the drive will move with you to your next computer.
What speeds are quoted for the 1 TB version of the M450?
3,400 MB/s read and 2,400 MB/s write, with 500,000 IOPS in 4 KB random read and 550,000 in write. In this range, the 2 TB version reads slightly more slowly, at 3,300 MB/s, but writes at 2,500: in practice, the two capacities are on a par.
How thick is the drive?
2.15 mm, at 80 by 22 mm. This is one of the flattest profiles in the M.2 2280 form factor, with no heatsink adding height: it fits under a laptop cover as well as under a motherboard's M.2 shield, without having to remove anything.
How much power does this SSD draw?
3.7 W maximum in operation, 35 mW at idle and only 5 mW in the deep sleep state. On a laptop, it is these last two figures that count, as the computer spends most of its time asking nothing of the drive.
How does this drive protect data?
Through LDPC error correction, end-to-end protection of the data path and support for the TCG Pyrite standard for data security. TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring are also supported, provided the operating system supports them.
What write endurance does this 1 TB version offer?
350 TB, or 350 full drive writes, compared with 700 TB on the 2 TB version. The mean time between failures is rated at up to 1,500,000 hours, the operating range is 0 to 70 °C and the storage range -40 to 85 °C.
Is the drive new and under warranty?
It is new and your invoice serves as the warranty document. Cover ends at the end of the period or when the rated write endurance is used up, whichever comes first. The datasheet gives the details.
520 MB/s reading and 450 MB/s writing to replace a spinning hard drive with no noise and no vibration. 3D NAND memory, SLC cache and ECC error correction; the ADATA migration utility copies the whole system onto the new drive.
•Sequential reading up to 520 MB/s
•Sequential writing up to 450 MB/s
•SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, backwards compatible with SATA II
550 MB/s in sequential read, more than five times the speed of a spinning drive: noticeably quicker start-ups and application loading. No moving parts, so operation is silent and insensitive to knocks.
Short enough to fit an ultra-thin laptop or a handheld games console, and it weighs only 2.6 g. 5,000 MB/s read, 3,000 MB/s write, low power draw and 160 TB written of endurance.
Ten times faster than a spinning drive: 500 MB/s read, 350 MB/s write, enough to wake up a machine that drags at start-up. With no moving parts, it takes the knocks and vibration of a computer on the move.
Compatible with a desktop PC, a laptop and a PS4 alike, it reads at 530 MB/s and writes at 400 MB/s. 3D NAND memory with no moving parts, for an office machine that is finally responsive.
A host memory buffer (HMB) and an SLC cache take read speed to 2,200 MB/s and write speed to 1,600 MB/s. LDPC error correction, end-to-end data protection and the SP Toolbox utility to monitor drive health.
256-bit AES hardware encryption, TCG Opal and Microsoft eDrive: the data stays unreadable to anyone who gets hold of the machine. 550 MB/s read, 520 MB/s write over SATA 6 Gb/s.
Write up to 450 MB/s and read up to 500 MB/s: file copies and installations are far brisker than with a spinning drive. Silent, frugal with power and unaffected by vibration, in a tower or a laptop.
280 TB written endurance, 3D NAND memory and ECC correction: a second drive built to last. Read up to 520 MB/s and write up to 450 MB/s, with no noise or vibration, in a desktop PC or a laptop.
Around six times the speed of a SATA model: 3,300 MB/s claimed in read, for instant start-ups and application launches. 240 TB written endurance and a design with no moving parts, resistant to shocks.
Built for animation and video editing, it reaches 6,000 MB/s read and 4,000 MB/s write. Host memory buffer and SLC cache, 320 TB written of endurance and PlayStation 5 compatibility as expanded storage.
Energy-efficient and cool-running, it reaches 6,000 MB/s read and 4,000 MB/s write. 320 TB written of endurance, 2,000,000 hours MTBF and Acronis cloning software included.
7,200 MB/s read and 4,400 MB/s write in a 6 g module just 2.45 mm thick. 500 TB written endurance, no moving parts and proven resistance to shock and vibration.
Built for heavy use with 1000 TB written of endurance and a mean time between failures of 1500000 hours. A 6 g module, 2.45 mm thick, with no moving parts, resistant to shocks and vibration.
Simple upgrade for a laptop or a tower: 5,000 MB/s read and 3,000 MB/s write, host memory buffer and SLC cache. 160 TB written of endurance and PlayStation 5 compatibility.
The finned aluminium heatsink lowers the temperature by 40% and holds the speed over time: 7,400 MB/s read, 6,000 MB/s write. It also fits inside a PS5.
Built for 3D rendering and 4K editing: 7,000 MB/s read, 3,900 MB/s write, Phison E18 controller and DRAM cache. The low-profile aluminium-graphene heatsink prevents throughput dropping under sustained load.
A host memory buffer (HMB) and an SLC cache take read speed to 2,200 MB/s and write speed to 1,600 MB/s. LDPC error correction, end-to-end data protection and the SP Toolbox utility to monitor drive health.
Stated endurance of 300 TB written, enough to take years of office work and photography. Speeds of 500 MB/s read and 450 MB/s write, with no noise or vibration, in a tower or in a laptop.
