The MSI Spatium M450 V1 is an entry- to mid-range NVMe SSD lineup designed for systems seeking a transition to PCIe 4.0 without the premium cost of flagship models. The entire MSI Spatium M450 V1 series is built in M.2 2280 form factor, employing PCIe Gen4 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4, a Phison E19T controller, and 3D NAND technology, making it well-suited for workstations and home PCs where improved system speed, game installation performance, and fast large file transfers matter. The MSI Spatium M450 V1 lineup includes capacities of 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB, with specifications varying by capacity: maximum read speeds reach 3000 MB/s in the 500 GB variant, 3400 MB/s at 1 TB, and 3300 MB/s at 2 TB, while write speeds go up to 2000, 2400, and 2500 MB/s respectively.
