A Faster Storage Upgrade for Your Everyday PC

The MSI M461 500GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD is built for anyone who wants a quicker, more responsive system without the bulk of a traditional drive. Using a PCIe Gen4 NVMe interface in the compact M.2 2280 form factor, it gives your desktop or laptop a modern storage foundation for the operating system, applications and everyday files. For South African users upgrading an ageing machine, a fast NVMe SSD is one of the most noticeable improvements you can make.

Tired of Waiting for Files and Applications to Load?

Slow storage can make even a capable computer feel sluggish. With sequential read speeds of up to 4700 MB/s, this MSI NVMe SSD helps get your system, programs and large files into action quickly. That means shorter waits when you boot up, open projects or move through big collections of data, so you spend more of your time working and less of it watching progress bars.

Write Speeds That Keep Transfers Moving

Reading is only half the story. With sequential write speeds of up to 1700 MB/s, the drive handles saving and copying large files with ease, whether you are installing software, backing up documents or transferring media. Pairing strong read and write performance in one M.2 SSD makes it a practical all-round choice for general consumer use.

Capacity and Endurance You Can Rely On

The 500 GB capacity gives you room for your operating system, your everyday applications and a healthy library of files. Rated at 110 TBW, the drive is specified for a defined total volume of data written over its life, giving you a clear measure of endurance. Its slim M.2 2280 design measures 8.0 cm x 2.2 cm x 0.215 cm, so it slots neatly into compatible motherboards and laptops with an M.2 2280 slot.
