Crucial T705 PCIe Gen5 NVMe 2TB SSD, Up to 14,500MB/s, TLC NAND, Intel & Ryzen Compatible, for Hardcore Gaming & High-Speed Storage, Solid State Drive, Includes 1Mo Adobe CC – CT2000T705SSD3

This is an interesting piece of hardware. This particular NVME SSD Gen 5.0 exceeded read and write speeds for me in Crystal Disk, and that was on a working "C" drive. This Gen 5.0 drive cooks, and in more ways than one. Running this in the Gen 5.0 slot on a Gigabyte X670E motherboard. I made the error of initially installing this drive on an add in card with no heatsink to clone to as the target drive. I thought since the add in card drive PCIe slot was rated at 4.0, and not 5.0, I would not have to worry about temperatures. WRONG. The drive shut down after about 20 seconds, which I believe to be the temperature high limit was tripped. You absolutely have to run this SSD with a good heatsink, no matter what you are doing with it. I did not think the Motherboard heatsink was going to cut it, and installed a Thermalright heat pipe heat sink on the Crucial T705. This is a good heat-sink, but despite that, running Crystal Disk, and the heat-sink sitting above a hot RTX 4080 Super back plate, the drive still hit 80 Degrees C. running the Write portion of the Crystal Disk benchmark. This is in a well ventilated Case, but with an AIO over the CPU, this is kind of a dead space. I am going to get a slightly larger SSD cooler, with a fan. It helps if I run the RTX 4080 fans all the time to cool the video card and not transmit so much heat to the SSD cooler, but I am not gaming all the time nor do I want my Video Card fans running constantly. These are just some caveats to look out for. The Crucial T705 SSD is running flawlessly, and yes, games and programs do load faster. The associated Crucial Storage Executive is fine, but if you are used to the Samsung Tool Box, you will be disappointed. You are best off with an aftermarket cooling solution, as I do not think the "stock" heat sink some of the models come with would be adequate for file transfers, especially being so close to a hot Video Card. Tom's Hardware has some good testing reviews on Gen 5.0 SSD heatsinks with heat pipes. Cheers!

It is a shame that the owners are retiring this brand of the market. This NVMe is great, good capacity and faster, you will notice its speed inmediatly. I use it as my main drive for the OS and I am really happy with it.

Fast, works great for several months now in a MAG X870 Tomahawk motherboard.

Faster than my Samsung 9100 pro stays cool under the stock MB heat sink.

Goes zoom. Much data. Very wow.

Fast delivery packed well and easy to setup.

Crucial is a reliable brand for computer drives and this NVMe is very good. The 5th gen speed isn't really noticeable when gaming (I play single player mostly) but it feels a bit faster (than say a 4th gen) when transferring files (i did a 100gb sample using bunch of movies/games) from this drive to a connected external Samsung drive with a 10gbs usbc connection (sorry never used a 3rd gen as was still on sata then upgraded to 4th). Yes, would buy again. Very nice. Great success.

Since they were introduced in 2tb and 4tb sizes for computers, we have purchased 6 of these. Five were installed and ran without a problem. However, one didn't. So, I filled out the first form online with the serial number, etc., and attached a scan of the purchase invoice. After they confirmed that it was indeed a T705 and that we bought it, we got the next email two days later. With that, there was a further list of 14 questions and tests they wanted us to perform before sending the NVMe back, along with wanting screen captures of what appeared with each test. For some reason, they had a hard time understanding that the drive couldn't be put through the tests since the computer did not see the problem with the drive. I say computers because we tried to get it initialized on all 6 computers and 3 different software we have running in the shop - MAC, PC, and Laptop. Finally, I convinced them I knew what I was talking about, and they sent a label (NOT prepaid) to send the NVMe back. Where is the logic here? Why would we, or anyone for that matter, return a perfectly good drive only to be sent another of the same? This is especially frustrating when the product is under warranty. Ours was five weeks since purchase, so it couldn't be returned to Amazon, but that is what the manufacturer's warranty is for - I think that is correct. Who would buy any electronic item without a warranty to cover defective items? The bottom line is that we will be going back to the Gigabyte 12000 drives and hope Samsung will release their Gen 5 NVMe soon. We have purchased 57 NVMe drives so far this year; in the future, none will ever again be Crucial. We had to take the time to pack, pay for the shipping, and deliver THEIR defective product for replacement. UPDATE: We got a new drive three weeks after we returned the defective drive. Of course, in the meantime, we had to buy another drive. IMO, it is not fair to keep our client waiting because of Crucial's ridiculous policy. We did have a defective Samsung 990 earlier in the year, and it was returned with a pre-paid label, and we got a replacement within 10 days. — Let's see if Crucial pays any attention! 2nd UPDATE: Well now the third one died. That is 3 out of 4 we bought are all dead. Finally I have learned my lesson.

Dies ist meine erst PCIE Gen5 M.2 von Crucial und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht! Die Schreib-/Leseraten entsprechen den Angaben und lassen keine Wünsche offen. Eine gute Kühlung ist allerdings Pflicht, was bei meinem MSI B850M Mortar WiFi auf dem die M.2 betrieben wird, kein Problem ist. Unter Last liegt die Temp bei ca. 65Grad C und und ist somit voll OK für eine Gen5 M.2. Lediglich der aktuell aufgerufene Preis stellt den einzigsten Kritikpunkt dar, aber sonst kann ich die M.2 nur empfehlen.

Blazing fast and rock solid reliability - the perfect 2tb drive for AM5.

Ya tenia uno, excelente M.2, lo recomiendo.

Empezar diciendo que el SSD en general funciona correctamente, algo "calentorro" si no le pones un disipador, pero nada preocupante. Sinceramente nunca he tenido problemas con los SSD Crucial. Ahora bien, para los poseedores de un procesador INTEL CORE ULTRA de última generación: NUNCA vais a conseguir las velocidades anunciadas de este SSD ni de ninguno de ninguna marca que pase de los 12000 MB/s porque estos citados procesadores de INTEL son "defectuosos". No voy a entrar en detalles técnicos, pero de forma muy resumida, la alta latencia y el bajo ancho de banda a causa de un defecto de diseño, provocan esta limitación de poco mas de 12000 MB/s. Mas que nada lo digo porque he visto muchos comentarios de gente quejándose de que su SSD no alcanzaba las velocidades especificadas del fabricante...

Speed is very good even use in enclosure and take back up for desktop
