 MSI introduces Spatium M580 Frozr, a PCIe 5.0 SSD rated for 14.6 GB/s read and 12.7 GB/s write

MSI's latest and greatest PCIe 5.0 SSD is potentially the fastest on the market, provided its advertised benchmarking numbers hold true. The massive tower heatsink helps it maintain high sustained performance, and also look a bit ridiculous for a 12W drive.
