Crucial T705 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD

The Crucial T705 is a 2TB internal solid-state drive built on the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface with NVMe protocol. It uses Micron 232-layer TLC NAND and ships with an integrated aluminum-and-copper heatsink. Sequential reads reach up to 14,500 MBps and writes up to 12,700 MBps, with random performance of 1,550,000 read IOPS and 1,800,000 write IOPS.

Suited for Gen5 platforms with strong airflow

This drive targets Intel Core 13-14th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 systems that expose a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and can supply adequate case airflow for the heatsink. Builders using older chipsets, laptops without Gen5 support, or compact cases with restricted ventilation should consider a PCIe 4.0 alternative instead.

Straightforward M.2 2280 install with thermal care

Installation follows the standard M.2 2280 screw-down procedure; the heatsink is pre-attached so no extra mounting hardware is required. The most common issue is insufficient airflow around the heatsink, which can cause thermal throttling under sustained heavy workloads.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot to run this CT2000T705SSD5 at its 14,500 MBps read speed?

Yes, the drive connects through a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface, so the motherboard must provide a Gen5 M.2 slot to reach the rated 14,500 MBps sequential read figure.

Will the included heatsink fit under my existing CPU cooler if I keep my current Intel Core 13th Gen processor?

The aluminum and copper heatsink is built to the M.2 2280 form factor and is designed for systems with Intel Core 13th Gen CPUs, so it should clear standard coolers when adequate case airflow is present.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the 1,550,000 IOPS random read performance after installation?

Run an NVMe benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark and check that the 4 KB random read result approaches 1,550,000 IOPS while the drive is at operating temperature.
