- Is the Crucial T500 4TB worth it over the Samsung 990 Pro?
- For most buyers, yes. It delivers nearly the same real-world speed for less, and its single-sided 4TB design fits more devices. The 990 Pro has a slight edge in some benchmarks and offers hardware encryption.
- Does the T500 4TB work in a PS5?
- Yes. It meets Sony's speed requirement and the single-sided 4TB layout fits the PS5 slot. Add a heatsink, since this version ships without one.
- Is it compatible with a laptop?
- It uses the standard M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 interface and is single-sided, so it fits most modern laptops. Check that your slot supports NVMe and that the drive will not sit under a tight cover without a thermal pad.
- How fast is the 4TB model?
- Crucial rates it at up to 7,300 MB/s sequential read and around 6,800 MB/s sequential write. Real-world game loads and file copies are close to those figures.
- Does it come with a heatsink?
- No. This version is the bare drive. Buy the heatsink version or add a third-party heatsink if you plan long sustained writes or PS5 use.
- What is the endurance rating?
- The 4TB model is rated for roughly 2,400 TBW with a five-year warranty, which is generous for consumer use.
