- Do I need a heatsink for the Crucial T705?
- Yes for sustained heavy use. The drive runs hot at PCIe 5.0 speeds and will throttle without one. Crucial sells a heatsink version, and any slim M.2 heatsink that fits your board works.
- Will the T705 work in a PS5?
- Yes, if you add a low-profile heatsink that fits the expansion bay. Sony requires a heatsink for PS5 M.2 drives, and the bare T705 does not include one.
- Is the T705 much faster than a PCIe 4.0 SSD?
- On paper it roughly doubles sequential throughput. In games and everyday tasks the difference is small; the gains show up in large file transfers and heavy creative work.
- What slot does the T705 need for full speed?
- A PCIe 5.0 x4 slot wired to the CPU. On a PCIe 4.0 slot it still works but runs at PCIe 4.0 speeds.
- How much data can I write before the warranty ends?
- The 4TB model is rated around 2,400 TBW with a five-year limited warranty, whichever comes first.
- What comes in the box?
- The bare drive only. No heatsink, screw or mounting hardware is included, so check your motherboard's M.2 parts.
