2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

The Crucial T705 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built on Micron 232-layer TLC NAND. It uses a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface with the NVMe protocol to deliver sequential reads up to 14,500 MBps and writes up to 12,700 MBps. Random performance reaches 1,550,000 IOPS read and 1,800,000 IOPS write. The drive targets gamers and creators who need maximum throughput for AAA titles and heavy workloads.

PCIe 5.0 motherboard slot and heatsink required

Your motherboard must provide a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 M.2 slot wired for NVMe. The drive ships without a heatsink and relies on the motherboard's own M.2 heatsink for cooling. A copper-clad label on the drive helps transfer heat to that heatsink. Verify that your board includes a compatible M.2 heatsink before ordering.

Thermals managed by motherboard heatsink

Under normal workloads the copper-clad label conducts heat from the controller and NAND to the motherboard heatsink. Because the drive has no integrated heatsink, thermal performance and acoustic output depend entirely on the motherboard's cooling solution and case airflow. Power draw scales with the PCIe 5.0 link speed and the 232-layer NAND activity during sustained transfers.

Questions about this item

Does this SSD need a motherboard heatsink to run at full speed?

Yes, the drive ships without a heatsink and relies on the motherboard M.2 heatsink; its copper-clad label transfers heat to that heatsink for sustained performance

Which CPU platforms are validated for this PCIe 5.0 drive?

The drive is produced with Micron 232-layer TLC NAND for Intel Core 13-14th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs

What sequential read and write speeds can I expect in practice?

Up to 14,500 MBps sequential read and up to 12,700 MBps sequential write over the PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe interface
