Our take on the Crucial T700 1TB TLC PCIe NVMe 5.0 x4 M.2 2280 Solid State Drive

The Crucial T700 is a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 2280 SSD rated at up to 9,500 MB/s sequential read and write, among the fastest consumer drives on the market. It uses 3D TLC NAND with a Phison E26 controller and needs a heatsink, since it runs hot under sustained load. It suits gamers, video editors and anyone moving large files on a Gen5 motherboard. Against Gen4 drives like the Samsung 990 Pro it roughly doubles sequential speed, but real-world gains are smaller and it draws more power.

Pros
  • Up to 9,500 MB/s sequential read and write
  • PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe interface
  • High random speeds: 1.35M read and 1.4M write IOPS
  • 3D TLC NAND rather than QLC
  • Standard M.2 2280 size fits most boards
Cons
  • Runs hot and needs a heatsink
  • High power draw versus Gen4 drives
  • Real-world gains over good Gen4 drives are modest
  • Requires a PCIe 5.0 slot to reach rated speeds
  • TLC endurance is fine but not enterprise-grade

Questions and answers

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.
Where is the Crucial T700 1TB TLC PCIe NVMe 5.0 x4 M.2 2280 Solid State Drive cheapest?
