Conclusion
In this review, we took a look at the new MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 2TB FROZR SSD which is launching today, extending MSI’s SSD lineup to include MSI’s fastest PCIe Gen5 SSD performance. The MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR offers PCIe Gen5 SSD performance at 12,400MB/s sequential read and 11,800MB/s sequential write and endurance of up to 1400TBW on the 2TB model we reviewed today. The MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR comes with a 4GB LPDDR4 DRAM cache on board for fast lookup tables, and SLC caching all under the banner of the NVMe 2.0 protocol. 
The MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR is noted for its tower MSI FROZR cooler heatsink, a completely passively cooled solution that does not require external power. The 2TB capacity we reviewed today will retail for an MSRP of $299-$349, pricing may vary, but there will also be 1TB and 4TB capacities available as well. If you want the fastest bandwidth and throughput, the 2TB and 4TB models are your go-to, and they also have a higher endurance rating. The 1TB capacity will run a bit slower and has a lower endurance, but still provides PCIe Gen5 SSD performance. 
Cooling
The MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR’s notable feature is its towering passively cooled FROZR heatsink and fin stack with protruding heatpipes. What does this mean for actually controlling temperatures? Well, it means really good things. In the above graph, note that for the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR and CORSAIR MP700 PRO, the Composite Temperature is being compared, not an on-die controller sensor. This is also true for other SSDs on this graph.
According to HWiNFO64, the composite temperatures on the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR reached 60c in our stress test benchmark that we use for evaluating temperature. If we compare this temperature to the reading from HWiNFO64 on the CORSAIR MP700 PRO (which uses an active fan) it reads 63c for the same sensor reading. Therefore, the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR seems to run just a bit cooler in this composite temperature reading. However, practically, both are very close in temperature. We did not get a direct on-die reading of the controller temperature separately. 
The CORSAIR MP700 PRO’s advantage is that it has a slim profile, with a very small and compact form factor and height. The MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR has no active fan but requires it to extend up from your SSD slot by 2.75″ and can cause some compatibility issues with motherboards or GPUs. However, just because it doesn’t have a fan, doesn’t mean it cannot keep the SSD cool enough. In fact, we found the cooling to work extremely well, as you can see it never reached past 60c in the composite temperatures. 
This means the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR will not thermal throttle in heavy use, SSDs can start to throttle around 70-75c or higher, but the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR never came close to those temperatures to trigger thermal throttling. Therefore, the cooling works. It’s big, it takes up space and may have compatibility issues, but it does not hold back the SSD’s performance. In addition, compared to PCIe Gen4 SSDs, it also remains cooler overall thanks to the large amount of surface area the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR has for its heatsink.
MSI Center
MSI offers its MSI Center to monitor the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR. With the download of the System Diagnosis utility within MSI Center, you are able to look at some stats of the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR. The utility allows you to monitor used and free space and provides a clean-up disk utility and free-up memory utility. The software allows you to monitor the overall composite temperature in real time and does report on the health status of the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR. 
The software also lets you know if DirectStorage is setup and working correctly as well as the link speed. In addition, there is functionality for providing a system backup and restore function from drive to drive, which is very handy. The two features we see missing might be a firmware check, though this might be leveraged through the LiveUpdate feature of MSI Center, and a Secure Wipe or Secure Erase feature.
Performance 
In our testing, we found the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR performs very well in both the full PCMark 10 testing and the quick storage testing. This shows that it can push small workloads, or more complex workloads with high bandwidth and fast access times. In game loading times, it worked very well with DirectStorage game loading and allowed competitive game loading times. In FF XIV benchmark, it was at the top of its game, competing with other PCIe Gen5 SSDs for loading times. This loading time was well improved over Gen4 SSDs or the last generation SPATIUM lineup.
In disk copy benchmarks, the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO FROZR 2TB PCIe Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSD allowed very fast transfer speeds copying large files. It again was at the top of its game, alongside the competition which provides a big speedup from PCIe Gen4 SSDs. In workstation applications we found the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO FROZR 2TB PCIe Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSD to perform extremely well, able to perform the highest performance we’ve seen to date in specific professional applications.
Looking closely at the throughput and bandwidth, the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR is able to reach its quoted and rated sequential read speed. It comes very close to the rated speed for write performance, though this does depend on workload. The results are within the margin of error, and it appears to be reaching the performance it is advertised to achieve. It has strong sequential, and importantly random performance in read and writes. There are real advantages compared to PCIe Gen4 SSDs. 
About performance, we did note that the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO FROZR uses a newer firmware version (EQFM22.2) compared to the CORSAIR MP700 PRO (EQFM22.1). This could account for some differences between the two in performance (since they have the same controller/sequential speeds), we just wanted to make sure to mention the version difference that we noticed. Firmware versions can always change performance in different regards, we checked both SSDs for firmware updates, and these were the latest versions at the time of testing for each SSD. Make sure to always check for the latest versions.
Tower Cooler
The tower FROZR cooler appears to work very well and keeps the drive well within tolerable temperatures. If you do not want an active fan solution, requiring external power, the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR is a great passively cooled option. 
Just be aware of the size requirements and height of the heatsink for your motherboard and GPU. Clearance will need to be evaluated before you make a purchase. If space is an issue, you might consider an SSD with a more slim profile. Overall, it is both personal preference and clearance and space that will determine which type of SSD you opt to run. 
Final Points
The MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO FROZR 2TB PCIe Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSD is a great addition and upgrade to MSI’s SSD lineup. Compared to the previous generation MSI SPATIUM M480 and MSI SPATIUM M470, which we have reviewed, the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR is a big upgrade in performance. The M570 PRO also offers a performance upgrade over the M570. The MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO 2TB FROZR fully leverages the PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 interface and pushes very fast performance in read and write throughput, the fastest yet from MSI. 
There are three different capacities offered, you can choose between 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB for large fast storage. You will get faster performance and higher endurance on the 2TB and 4TB models. This SSD is geared for enthusiasts, gamers, and anyone on the desktop platform who wants a fast SSD. We’d love to see a slim, actively cooled model of these in the future for more options, and compatibility.  
The endurance rating is typical for SSDs with this controller, and NAND flash. This is to say it is very good and matches that of the MSI SPATIUM M480 PRO Gen4 SSD MSI also carries. Therefore there is no reduction in endurance due to the M570 PRO being a PCIe Gen5 SSD. 
Overall, the MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO FROZR 2TB PCIe Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSD is a worthy upgrade from MSI’s previous generation lineup SPATIUM M480 and M470, and pushes the M570 further than ever. The MSI SPATIUM M570 PRO FROZR introduces MSI’s fastest PCIe Gen5 performance and is among the fastest drives out there for storage performance in all aspects. It sits at the top of MSI’s current SSD lineup and offers flagship performance.
