Crucial 7450 MAX 3.20 TB U.3 PCI Express NVMe 4.0 internal SSD

Capacity and interface

This is a 3.20 TB internal solid-state drive built for servers and workstations that need high-capacity NVMe storage in a U.3 form factor. It suits IT teams deploying dense storage arrays or caching layers where the U.3 connector matches existing backplane infrastructure.

PCIe 4.0 NVMe performance

The drive connects through a U.3 interface running the PCI Express NVMe 4.0 standard, so the host system must provide a compatible U.3 or U.2 slot wired for four lanes of PCIe 4.0 to reach rated throughput. Without that specific interface the drive will not operate.

3.20 TB usable space

The 3.20 TB capacity handles large databases, virtualization images and sustained write workloads such as logging or content ingest. Workloads that exceed this capacity or demand higher endurance than the MAX series provides will require additional drives or a different product line.
