- Is the Crucial T500 worth it over a cheaper Gen4 SSD?
- Yes if you move large files, edit video or want top game loads. For browsing and office work a budget Gen4 drive feels the same.
- Does it fit a PS5?
- Yes. It is a single-sided M.2 2280 drive, which fits the PS5 expansion slot. Sony's slot cover acts as the heatsink, so the bare drive is the right pick.
- Do I need the heatsink version?
- For a desktop with an M.2 shield or a PS5, no. For long sustained writes on an open motherboard slot, the heatsink version keeps temperatures lower.
- Is it faster than the Crucial P3 Plus?
- Yes. The T500 uses TLC NAND with a DRAM cache and roughly doubles sequential speeds, and it holds up far better on sustained writes.
- What is in the box?
- Just the drive and a quick-start guide. No heatsink, screw or cable is included with the standard version.
- Does it work in a PCIe 3.0 slot?
- Yes, it is backward compatible, but it will run at Gen3 speeds, so you lose most of its advantage.
