- Do I need a heatsink for the Crucial T700?
- Yes. The drive runs hot under sustained load, and Crucial sells a heatsink version. Use your motherboard's M.2 heatsink or an aftermarket one.
- Will it work in a PCIe 4.0 slot?
- It fits and works, but it will run at PCIe 4.0 speeds, roughly half its rated sequential rate. You need a Gen5 slot for full speed.
- Is it worth it over a Gen4 SSD like the 990 Pro?
- For large file transfers and DirectStorage games, yes. For everyday use the difference is small, and a good Gen4 drive runs cooler.
- What is the difference between the T700 and T700 with heatsink?
- Same drive; the heatsink version adds a passive aluminum heatsink. Pick it if your motherboard has no M.2 heatsink.
- Does it work in a PS5?
- Yes, if you use the heatsink version and it fits the console's expansion slot. The bare drive alone is too tall and hot for the bay.
- What is in the box?
- The bare M.2 2280 drive and documentation. No heatsink, screw or mounting hardware is included with the standard version.
