LOADING...
The MSI M461 is a 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD for desktop and notebook users who want fast internal storage, with sequential speeds up to 5,000 MB/s read and 4,200 MB/s write.
Recommended For
- PC gamers expanding a game library: 2TB capacity and strong everyday read performance suit storing and loading games, while long sustained write speeds are less important for typical play.
- Laptop owners adding storage for apps, games, or a media library: the M.2 2280 drive is single-sided, and reviewers note that its slim layout suits thinner notebooks. Check the laptop’s SSD-slot compatibility before buying.
- Everyday PC users moving an operating system, applications, or frequently used files to a PCIe 4.0 SSD: testing found responsive everyday performance for typical smaller-to-medium transfers.
- Buyers choosing a 2TB drive for a mixed home workload—such as office tasks, games, and stored media—who mainly write files in ordinary-sized batches rather than continuously.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When adding room for a PC game library, users can keep more large games installed and expect responsive loading; reviewers and owners describe the M461 as suited to gaming and everyday use.
- For a compatible laptop with an available M.2 2280 slot, installing the M461 can add internal space for games and everyday files without relying on external storage; users should check the laptop’s slot and drive-size support first.
- As a primary or secondary drive for everyday PC use, it can hold the operating system, applications, and frequently used files while delivering responsive day-to-day performance; a review found solid PCIe 4.0 performance in ordinary use.
- For occasional transfers of game installs, photos, or other large files, it offers fast initial copying, but users moving very large amounts of data repeatedly may see write speeds drop, especially as the drive fills.
