Capacity and interface

The Crucial T500 CT2000T500SSD8 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built on a PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface. It uses 3D NAND TLC memory in the M.2 2280 form factor to deliver sequential reads up to 7400 MBps and writes up to 7000 MBps.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive suits gamers and content creators who want faster game loads and up to 42 percent quicker performance in creative applications. Users with systems limited to PCIe 3.0 or older M.2 slots will not reach the advertised speeds and may prefer a drive matched to that platform.

The specification that decides fit

The PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface determines whether this drive can operate at its rated 7400 MBps read and 7000 MBps write performance. Verify that your motherboard or laptop provides a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2280 slot with PCIe 4.0 NVMe support for this drive?

Yes, the CT2000T500SSD8 requires an M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe 4.0 NVMe to function and reach its rated speeds.

Will this PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD work in a system that only has PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots?

It will operate in a PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot, but sequential read and write speeds will be limited to the PCIe 3.0 bandwidth ceiling.

How can I verify the drive is delivering its rated 7400 MBps read and 7000 MBps write performance after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark using the NVMe protocol test profile and compare the sequential results to the 7400 MBps read and 7000 MBps write specifications.
