T700 Gen5 NVMe 2TB SSD

The Crucial T700 CT2000T700SSD5 is a consumer internal solid-state drive built on Micron 232-layer TLC NAND. It connects through a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface using the NVME protocol. Sequential reads reach 12400 MBps and writes 11800 MBps, while random 4KB performance hits 1500000 IOPS in both directions. An integrated aluminum and nickel-plated copper heatsink manages thermals without fans or liquid cooling.

M.2 2280 heatsink installation

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and ships with the heatsink already attached. Mount it into a compatible motherboard slot and secure it with the motherboard screw. Ensure the slot and the surrounding area provide enough clearance for the taller heatsink profile; some compact boards or laptop bays cannot accommodate the extra height. Forced airflow over the heatsink improves sustained throughput during heavy workloads.

Motherboard slot and airflow check

Verify that your motherboard offers an M.2 slot wired for PCI-Express 5.0 x4 to obtain the rated speeds; older slots will limit the drive to their own maximum. Confirm the physical space around the slot allows the heatsink to sit without contacting nearby components or case panels. The drive is designed for Intel 13th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 platforms with appropriate chipset support.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the drive is delivering up to 12,400 MBps sequential read and 1,500,000 IOPS random read after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark on a PCIe 5.0 x4 slot and compare the results to the rated 12,400 MBps sequential read and 1,500,000 IOPS random read.

Does the CT2000T700SSD5 ship with the aluminum and nickel-plated copper heatsink attached, or must I purchase cooling separately?

The drive includes the premium aluminum and nickel-plated copper heatsink pre-installed; no separate cooler is required.

Should I choose the 2 TB T700 with heatsink or a non-heatsink version for an Intel 13th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7000 build?

Select the heatsink model (CT2000T700SSD5) when your motherboard M.2 slot has limited airflow; the non-heatsink variant suits boards with dedicated M.2 shields.
