Crucial T500 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The Crucial T500 is a 4TB internal solid-state drive built on 3D NAND TLC memory. It connects through an M.2 2280 slot using the PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface. The drive is aimed at consumers who need high-capacity, high-speed storage for laptops, desktops or workstations. Sequential reads reach up to 7000 MBps and writes up to 6900 MBps.

Suits users needing maximum capacity on PCIe 4.0

This drive fits workloads that demand both large space and fast throughput, such as extensive game libraries, video projects or heavy multitasking. Random read and write performance of up to 1.05M IOPs supports responsive application loading. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 will not reach the stated sequential speeds. Builds requiring a pre-fitted heatsink should consider other models.

PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface combined with the M.2 2280 form factor. Your motherboard or laptop must provide an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 NVMe to achieve the rated 7000 MBps sequential read and 6900 MBps sequential write performance.

Highlights

  • Sequential reads up to 7000 MB/s for faster boot and load times
  • Sequential writes up to 6900 MB/s to move large files quickly
  • Random read and write performance up to 1.05M IOPS for responsive multitasking
  • 4TB capacity stores extensive game libraries and creative projects
  • PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface delivers high bandwidth for demanding workloads

Questions about this item

Will this 4TB M.2 2280 drive fit my laptop's M.2 slot?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor, so it fits any M.2 slot keyed for 2280-length NVMe modules. Check your device manual to confirm the slot supports PCIe 4.0 NVMe and 2280 length.

Does the drive include a heatsink, or do I need to buy one separately?

This model ships without a heatsink. Many laptops and motherboards have built-in M.2 thermal pads or shields; if yours does not, an aftermarket heatsink can be added.

What real-world speed difference will I see compared to a PCIe 3.0 drive?

Sequential reads reach up to 7000 MBps and writes up to 6900 MBps, roughly double the throughput of PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives, cutting game load times and speeding large-file transfers.
