The moment of truth: Real workloads from the daily work environment
Now we come to the direct comparison in real applications The following benchmarks show very surprising things, where the Corsair MP700 Pro is usually just ahead of the MSI SSD and, on the other hand, both PCIe 5.0 SSDs dominate less in some applications than one might expect based on the theoretical performance data. Yes, the two new SSDs are really fast, but the SSD is not always the really slowing link in the chain. When writing, programs such as Ansys Icepak and Handbrake benefit enormously, as the rate is significantly higher when it comes to writing larger streams in particular. Maya 2017, MCAT and 3dsm, on the other hand, are slightly weaker than the fast HP FX9000 Pro and PCIe 4.0. However, the vast majority of programs benefit from the new standard. And Corsair wins against MSI when writing within the tolerance range.
Reading is very similar, the performance boost is usually just as significant and more or less pronounced as with writing. You can definitely feel the big theoretical advantage in practice, even if it’s not as extreme as you might have expected. And how does it look in direct comparison? Here too, you can see the advantage of the MSI SSD in a few apps, especially with large blocks. So you can see that the firmware has been optimized slightly differently here.
Yes, the performance has also increased significantly in some applications, but not as extremely as the synthetic benchmarks might suggest. And that’s exactly why you really have to consider whether you can really feel it subjectively and, above all, whether it really increases productivity in your individual case to such an extent that the extra cost is worth it. If the answer is yes, then you will certainly do everything right with the new SSD. But it really depends on the applications. Synthetics isn’t everything and you won’t win anything at work with benchmarks.
Summary and conclusion
Leaving aside the price, which will certainly be adjusted later according to actual market availability, the MSI SPATIUM M570 Pro PCIe 5.0 is perhaps exactly what is currently technically feasible for the end user (gamer or creator) with normal effort. There are already various models in this performance class, but MSI has finally managed to offer a competitive product that is above all thermally stable without being annoying with a buzzing fan. Yes, it runs passively and without a swarm of bees.
Such an SSD can be recommended to all those who are on the hunt for the last ounce of performance, who find enough space on the motherboard and for whom the 5-year warranty from MSI takes away some of the doubts as to how long the controller and the Micron NAND can cope with the change from pSLC and TLC mode without loss. It’s no secret that this is also due to the interaction between the controller and flash memory. However, Micron hasn’t just been doing this since yesterday and the TBW specifications are always a matter of opinion. For example, I only wrecked an Intel SSD after several petabytes, although according to the specs it should have been dead for a long time.
Conclusion: It’s a good and, above all, quiet product because it’s passive, you won’t find any defects (and yes, I’m always that picky) and, as always, the last bit of performance is the most expensive. If you want to be beautiful, fast and quiet at the same time, you have to suffer. Or grumble and pay. Let’s see how the price materializes later on the road. It would be nice.
