Crucial T700 CT1000T700SSD3 1TB internal SSD

T700 1TB PCIe 5.0 SSD

The Crucial T700 CT1000T700SSD3 is a 1TB internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops. It uses an M.2 2280 form factor with a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface and NVMe 2.0 protocol. Micron 232-layer TLC NAND provides sequential reads up to 11700 MBps and writes up to 9500 MBps.

Suits high-performance builds

This drive targets Intel 13th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 platforms that support PCIe 5.0 storage. It is intended for gaming, UHD and 8K media editing, and heavy workloads that benefit from 1350000 random read IOPS and 1400000 random write IOPS. Systems limited to PCIe 4.0 or lacking an M.2 slot with adequate heatsink clearance should consider a different drive.

Heatsink required for install

The T700 must be installed with a motherboard heatsink and access to appropriate airflow; the drive ships without its own thermal solution. Installation is a standard M.2 slot insertion, but omitting the heatsink or restricting airflow leads to thermal throttling and reduced sustained performance. Motherboards without a dedicated M.2 heatsink are a common mismatch.
