Crucial’s T700 4TB PCIe NVMe Gen 5 SSD Can Reach Up To 12,400MB/s Speeds, Supports DirectStorage, And Is 14 Percent Off On Amazon

Solid-state drives that support the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol were already raging fast, but what we have for you here exceeds that threshold by a considerable margin. Best of all, it is 14 percent off on Amazon, with its price down to $349.99 for the 4TB version. Yes, we are talking about the Crucial T700, the company’s lightning-quick PCIe NVMe Gen 5 SSD that breaks multiple speed records, all thanks to supporting a new standard.

Despite sporting the same M.2 form factor as the slower drives, the Crucial T700 can obtain sequential read speeds of 12,400MB/s and write speeds of 11,800MB/s. However, one should remember that it is not just these data transfer speeds that hold importance, but how responsive installing an PCIe NVMe Gen 5 will make your system, which is a metric measured in IOPS, or input/output operations per second.

The T700 can touch 1.5 million IOPS, making your gaming desktop or laptop thoroughly snappy. Thanks to the impressive read and write speeds of the Crucial T700, DirectStorage is enabled on the 4TB drive by default. For those who do not know, this API is used to load game assets rapidly, leading to significantly improved performance in the most demanding of titles. Unfortunately, these high read and write speeds come at a cost; increased temperatures.

Before installing this drive, make absolutely sure that your laptop or desktop features a capable heatsink that can tame its thermals, or else the T700 will suffer from throttling issues all the time, leaving tons of performance on the table. However, its $349.99 price tag is definitely an attractive aspect, and if you want the absolute best in solid-state drive technology, the Crucial T700 is the one you should be eyeing.
