- Is the Crucial T710 worth it over a Gen4 drive?
- Only if your motherboard or PS5 has a PCIe 5.0 slot and you move large files often. On a Gen4 slot it runs at Gen4 speeds, so a cheaper Gen4 drive makes more sense.
- Does it fit a PS5?
- Yes. The bundled low-profile heatsink keeps it within Sony's thickness limit, and the 2280 length matches the console's slot.
- Does it need a separate cooler?
- No. The included aluminum heatsink is enough for normal use, but give the case some airflow if you write large files for long stretches.
- How does it compare with the T700 or T705?
- The T710 is the newer generation with updated NAND and controller tuning, offering similar or slightly higher speeds and better efficiency than the T700. The T705 remains a top choice for raw benchmark numbers.
- What is in the box?
- The drive with its heatsink pre-installed and mounting screw. No cloning software or cables are included.
- Is 4TB enough for games and video?
- It holds roughly 60 to 80 large modern games or many hours of 4K footage. Heavier editors may still want a second drive for archives.
