Interface and Performance
The MSI SPATIUM S270 is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive designed for desktop PCs and notebooks. It connects via a SATA III 6Gbps interface and is backward compatible with SATA II (3Gbps) and SATA I (1.5Gbps) . For the 960GB model, the drive achieves maximum sequential read speeds of 500 MB/s and maximum sequential write speeds of 450 MB/s . Random 4KB performance is rated at up to 55,000 IOPS for reads and 80,000 IOPS for writes .
Controller and NAND Flash
The drive is built around a Phison S11 controller, utilizing 3D NAND flash memory technology with 64-layer TLC (Triple-Level Cell) architecture . The S270 is a DRAM-less design, meaning it does not have a dedicated DRAM cache, which contributes to its entry-level positioning .
Endurance and Reliability
The 960GB variant has a Terabytes Written (TBW) rating of 500TB, indicating the total amount of data that can be written to the drive over its lifespan . The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is rated at up to 2,000,000 hours . The drive supports several advanced features for data protection and performance, including TRIM for performance optimization, S.M.A.R.T. for drive health monitoring, LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) ECC Algorithm for error correction, and Over-Provisioning to maintain performance and extend lifespan .
Power Consumption
The drive consumes a maximum of 2.1W during active operation, with idle power consumption at 330mW and low power (DEVSLP) consumption at 4.9mW .
