With up to 12,400 MB/s sequential read and 11,800 MB/s sequential write speeds (up to 1,500K IOPs random reads/writes), the Crucial T700 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD is nearly 2x faster than the previous Crucial PCIe 4.0 SSD.

Render high-resolution textures up to 60% faster, load assets in seconds and get up to 99% less CPU utilization to free up your system for multitasking with Microsoft DirectStorage and GPU decompression.

Working in close collaboration with controller, CPU, and motherboard vendors, Crucial, whose parent company, Micron, innovated the 232-layer TLC NAND inside the T700 PCIe Gen 5.0 SSD.

Store more games, UHD/8K+ media, apps, files, and more with 2TB of storage capacity.

This SSD comes with an aluminum and nickel-plated copper heatsink, which was custom designed to help you maximize performance in game and while 3D rendering while minimizing throttle - without the noise or failure risk of integrated fans or liquid cooling.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will Windows 11 automatically do trim, etc., or must I use manufacturer's software?

A: The Crucial T700 2TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD, B&H # CR2000T7SSD3, TRIM commands will be handled by Windows 11 automatically.

Q: 2. When is the heat sink version needed?

A: I would recommend a heatsink for the Crucial T700 1TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD if you plan to use it for intensive loads with constant writes that are over 30 minutes long. The controller on NVMe SSDs throttle when they get hot, causing write performance to degrade.

Q: 3. Does it require a heatsink with Del Optiplex 5270 AIO, core i7 9th gen 16gb ram (will upgrade to 32 gb 1 year later)?

A: No, a heatsink is not required with the Samsung 1TB 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD. It is equipped with Reliable Thermal Control.

Q: 4. Is there any enclosure that could actually give you the transfer speeds this is capable of?

A: At the moment, the fastest external enclosures use a Thunderbolt 3 connection, which has a max bandwidth of 5 GB/s, while the Crucial T700 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD with Heatsink has max read and write speeds of 12.4 GB/s and 11.8 GB/s, respectively.

Q: 5. Is there any small enclosure which would allow two of these to be raided together, big enough for the heatsink?

A: Yes, you can use the Sonnet Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock, B&H # SOECHODK2M2T, with the Crucial T700 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD with Heatsink in a RAID configuration.

Q: 6. Is there a RAID enclosure that works with these? I would like to put six of these together in a RAID for video editing.

A: There are no external RAID enclosures with 6 slots for the Crucial T700 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD with Heatsink at the moment, but you could use a PCIe RAID card like the HighPoint SSD7540 PCIe 4.0 x16 8-Channel M.2 NVMe RAID Controller (B&H # HISSD7540) and install it internally on a desktop computer or externally with a Thunderbolt PCIe enclosure like the Sonnet Echo Express III-D Thunderbolt 3 HDX PCIe Expansion Card Enclosure (Desktop) (B&H # SOHDX3FDTB3).

Q: 7. How much DRAM does this have?

A: The Crucial T700 2TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD has 2GB of DRAM. Crucial T700 series drives cone with 1 GB DRAM per 1 TB of storage capacity.

Q: 8. Will this work/replace the 256GB drive in a Macbook AIR, 13-inch, 2017? Thx

A: Unfortunately this is not compatible with a 13" MacBook Air 2017 model.

Q: 9. Is it compatible with the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)?

A: No, unfortunately the Samsung 2TB 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD with Heatsink would not be compatible with the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019). You would require a drive like the OWC Aura Pro X2 due to the type of connection used on the iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019).

Q: 10. Is this compatible with the OWC Express 4M2?

A: Yes, the Crucial T700 2TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD is compatible with the OWC Express 4M2.
