Crucial T700 4 TB (CT4000t700SSD3)

Crucial T700 is a line of internal M.2 2280 SSD drives designed for high-performance PCs, workstations, gaming systems, video editing, 3D graphics, and other demanding storage-intensive applications. The Crucial T700 uses the PCIe 5.0 NVMe interface and is available in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB capacities, with both heatsink and non-heatsink variants. The non-heatsink version is designed for installation under a motherboard's standard heatsink or other compatible cooling solution, as thermal management is critical for PCIe 5.0 SSDs. Maximum sequential read speeds in the Crucial T700 line reach up to 12400 MB/s, with write speeds up to 11800 MB/s in the higher-capacity configurations. For the 1 TB model, speeds up to 11700 MB/s read and up to 9500 MB/s write are specified. The drive is built on Micron's 232-layer TLC NAND memory and supports Microsoft DirectStorage, which is important for faster game asset loading on compatible systems. The Crucial T700 is also backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0, though speeds will be limited by the platform's capabilities in those slots. The line is ideal for users seeking a fast system drive, a working SSD for large projects, or a storage solution for modern PCIe 5.0-capable platforms.
