Crucial T700 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD with Heatsink

The Crucial CT2000T700SSD5 is a 2TB NVMe M.2 solid state drive that uses the PCIe Gen5 x4 interface to move data at remarkable speed. Sequential reads reach up to 12,400 MB/s and sequential writes climb to 11,800 MB/s, nearly doubling the performance of earlier Gen4 models and giving demanding desktops or workstations room to breathe.

That headroom shows up in day-to-day work. Games that rely on Microsoft DirectStorage can pull high-resolution textures straight from the drive, so levels load quickly and the CPU stays free for physics, AI, or background tasks. Video editors can scrub through 8K footage without waiting for clips to cache, and creators who render complex 3D scenes will see shorter export times.

Speed is only useful when it is consistent, so the T700 ships with a heatsink that combines an aluminum body and nickel-plated fins. The passive design removes heat without adding fan noise, which helps the drive maintain peak performance during extended gaming sessions or long rendering jobs.

Inside, Micron 232-layer TLC NAND pairs high density with proven endurance. Installation is straightforward: slide the drive into any M.2 slot that supports PCIe Gen5 on Intel 13th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7000 platforms. If you are upgrading an older system, the drive will run at Gen4 or Gen3 speeds automatically, so your current motherboard is still welcome.

Whether you are building a new gaming rig, refreshing a content-creation workstation, or planning a future-proof storage upgrade, the Crucial T700 delivers raw throughput, reliable thermals, and wide compatibility in a single, easy-to-install package.
