## Overview

The Crucial T700 4TB Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD delivers ultra-high sequential speeds up to 12,400 MB/s and 1,500K IOPS random performance, powered by Micron’s 232-layer TLC NAND.

Designed for gamers, creatives, and professionals, it supports Microsoft DirectStorage for faster load times and texture rendering, while offering massive 4TB capacity and compatibility with the latest Intel and AMD platforms.

## Description

Are you ready to feel the rush of extreme performance? The Crucial T700 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD offers speeds of up to 12,400MB/s sequential reads and up to 11,800MB/s sequential writes** (up to 1500K IOPS random reads/writes**) for faster gaming, video editing, 3D rendering and heavy workload applications. Built with Micron 232-layer TLC NAND3 and featuring a premium aluminum and nickel-plated copper heatsink that dissipates heat without noisy fans or liquid cooling, the Crucial T700 Gen5 SSD is optimized for performance, takes full advantage of Microsoft DirectStorage, and is backward compatible with Gen3 and Gen4 motherboards. A non-heatsink SKU is also available for use with an integrated motherboard heatsink*. With SSD speeds nearly 2x faster than Gen4**** in your PC, you’ll never look back from the Crucial T700! * Non-heatsink versions of the Crucial T700 must be installed with a motherboard or alternate heatsink to achieve optimal performance. ** Typical I/O performance as measured using CrystalDiskMark with a queue depth of 512 and write cache enabled. Windows 11 Core isolation disabled for performance measurement. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results. *** See Micron.com/products/nand-flash for more information. **** Compared to Crucial P5 Plus Gen4 NVMe SSD listed speed of 6,600MB/s. Actual speed may vary. ***** Some storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. ****** Compared to Gen5 SSD performance without DirectStorage, based on internal test results with supported GPU that uses GPU decompression. ******* Compared to Crucial MX500 SATA SSD listed speed of 560MB/s. Actual speed may vary. ******** Warranty valid for 5 years from the original date of purchase or before writing the maximum total bytes written (TBW) as published in the product datasheet and as measured in the product’s SMART data, whichever comes first. ********* Under typical conditions for airflow and ambient temperature, our pre-installed premium heatsink allows the T700 Gen5 SSD to run at max workload without the need to thermal throttle. Please ensure your drive has proper airflow for maximum performance. ********** Based on internal gaming performance results measured with 3DMark Storage Benchmark SSD performance test for gamers. Actual results may vary. *********** Compared to SSD temperatures without a cooling apparatus, based on internal testing. The Crucial T700 SSD must be installed with a heatsink for optimal performance.

Review: Edit 3: To add some spice, Crucial decided to not indicate on the commercial invoice of the returned drive that it was a warranty replacement... so UPS charged me taxes (129$) to clear the drive at customs! I'm done with Crucial. I had to contact Micron, who realized the mess and sent the proper documentation to UPS. A week later, the drive finally came. So that's it, no more Crucial for me, their support is India based and is not helping. If you buy, pray everything will go well... Edit 2: After contacting support, where I was asked to test the drive in a USB enclosure, I'm now told the RMA is declined because I removed the heatsink. Hey MICRON, this is not acceptable. I will fight this decision but will definitely look elsewhere first for future products. Can't RMA a 1000$ drive because I followed directions? You have got to be kidding me. Edit: Today, after a reboot, the computer didn't recognize the drive. After several attempts, took the drive out and onto a USB Nvme enclosure. No luck. This is ridiculous, a 1000$ drive that doesn't last 90 days? On top of that, there's no cross shipping for RMAs, which means I can't even go to a data recovery center as I don't have a grand floating around to buy a spare. Failures happen, I get that, but the customer support is not on par with the fact this is a premium 1000$ drive. 0 stars, buy from a different manufacturer. Was: Upon installing on my new Asus ProArt x670e motherboard, I was blown away by the speed of that Nvme, but less so by the operating temperature. This is a new computer build, which has 2 Noctua NF-A14 iPPC (B00KFCRF1A) about 4 inches away, blowing cool air past the Nvme. Still, the idle temperature was anywhere from 50-60C. Running a crude stress test using Crystal Disk Mark, the drive went up to 74C before I stopped the test. This is with the bundled heatsink. TLDR; Amazing drive, don't buy the bundled heatsink version, add a proper heatsink
Review: I purchased a new computer and it only came with a single 1TB SSD.. Considering I'm a massive gamer I knew immediately it was going to be an issue.. I settled on an External drive with a fair bit of memory 8 TB's and that filled my needs for a while, but I noticed that some games had stuttering and lag, which considering the specs on my system shouldn't have been happening.. RTX4090, 64 GB of ram, etc etc etc etc.. So I narrowed down the likely causes to the External HDD, so I knew I needed to remedy that situation asap.. After searching around I settled on the Crucial T700,, highly rated, and reviewed.. The price is hefty but gaming isn't a cheap hobby, if you want to play like a pro, you gotta pay like a pro.. The install was super easy, plug and play pretty much, the only issue arose from trying to format the drive for use.. after a half hour and numerous youtube videos I discovered that I had forgotten to name the drive, after feeling like an idiot, I had my harddrive installed and ready to roll.. Download speeds have never been faster, I've always had issues with steam download times, normally stuff that my internet speeds should have done in minutes would take an hour or more, with the Crucial it's down to taking minutes again.. I honestly couldn't be happier with this product.. If had another slot on my board I'd pick up another and never have to worry about uninstalling and installing games again.. Extremely happy with this purchase..

The drive performed optimally, until it died within the first month. Very fast. Wish it was more reliable especially for $750. I run i9 13900k with gtx 4090. i was aware of the possibly of extreme heat from the ssd and used 9 huge fans on turbo to try to counter effects. unit died during a driver update for nvidia-possible related
