- Is the Crucial T700 worth it over a Gen4 SSD?
- For large file transfers, game installs and AI or video work, yes: it is roughly twice as fast as Gen4 drives. For everyday browsing and office use you will barely notice the difference, so a cheaper Gen4 drive makes more sense.
- Will the T700 hit its rated speed in my PC?
- Only with a Gen5-capable CPU and motherboard, such as recent Intel or AMD platforms with a Gen5 M.2 slot. In a Gen4 slot it runs at Gen4 speeds.
- Does the heatsink fit a PS5?
- Yes. The M.2 2280 length and the attached heatsink fit the PS5 expansion slot, though you should confirm clearance in your console's bay.
- Does it run hot?
- It can reach high temperatures under sustained writes, and the heatsink helps but needs airflow. In a case with weak airflow it may throttle during long transfers.
- What is in the box?
- The SSD with its heatsink pre-installed. No mounting screw is guaranteed, so check your motherboard's M.2 hardware.
