SSD Crucial 1 TB M.2 PCI Express 5.0 NVMe T700

Crucial T700 Pro Series NVMe SSD delivers PCIe 5.0 performance with sequential read/write speeds up to 12,400/11,800 MB/s and random performance up to 1,500K IOPS. Designed for high-performance gaming, content creation and professional workloads, the drive is available with or without a custom aluminum and nickel-plated copper heatsink to help maintain sustained performance under load.

Advantages

The T700 Pro Series offers near double the throughput of Gen4 SSDs, accelerates texture streaming and asset loading with Microsoft DirectStorage support, and reduces CPU overhead for smoother multitasking. A premium passive heatsink option helps minimize thermal throttling without moving parts. The drive is based on Micron 232-layer TLC NAND and benefits from Micron-backed engineering and validation.

Key specifications

• Interface: PCIe 5.0 NVMe
• Sequential read speed: up to 12,400 MB/s
• Sequential write speed: up to 11,800 MB/s
• Random performance: up to 1,500K IOPS (reads/writes)
• Heatsink: aluminum and nickel-plated copper (option for non-heatsink model available)
• NAND: 232-layer TLC (Micron)

How to use

Install the M.2 NVMe drive into a PCIe 5.0-capable M.2 slot on a compatible motherboard, secure it with the mounting screw and enable the drive in your system BIOS if required. For best sustained performance, attach the included or optional heatsink according to the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure adequate case airflow. Update firmware and storage drivers as provided by Crucial or your system vendor for optimal compatibility.

Recommendations

Use the T700 Pro Series in systems with PCIe 5.0 support to fully utilize available bandwidth. For gaming and large content workloads, enable DirectStorage and GPU decompression when supported. Choose the heatsink model if you expect extended heavy loads or limited case airflow; select the non-heatsink option for compact builds where alternative cooling is preferred.
