Capacity and interface

The Crucial T700 2TB drive uses the PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface and the NVME protocol to deliver up to 12,400 MBps sequential read and 11,800 MBps sequential write speeds. It is built with Micron 232-layer TLC NAND for consumer workloads.

Sustained load behaviour

Random read and write performance reaches up to 1,500,000 IOPS, supporting heavy workloads with up to 99% less CPU utilisation. Microsoft DirectStorage can reduce texture render times by up to 60% during extended gaming sessions.

Installation and common issues

The M.2 2280 form factor fits a standard motherboard slot, but the drive must be paired with a heatsink and adequate airflow to maintain thermal limits. Without proper cooling the controller will throttle and sustained speeds will drop.

Questions about this item

Does the T700 need a motherboard heatsink to keep temperatures down during all-day workloads?

The T700 must be installed with a motherboard heatsink and access to appropriate airflow, as specified by the manufacturer for sustained operation.

What CPU generation is required for the PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface to function at full speed?

The drive is produced for Intel 13th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, which provide the PCI-Express 5.0 lanes needed for maximum throughput.

Will the M.2 2280 form factor fit in an older board that only supports PCI-Express 4.0?

The M.2 2280 form factor is physically compatible, but the interface will negotiate down to PCI-Express 4.0 speeds on older platforms.
