Crucial T500 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The Crucial T500 is an M.2 2280 internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It delivers 4TB of 3D NAND TLC storage over a PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface with a fitted heatsink.

Ideal for PS5 expansion and heavy creative workloads

The heatsink model installs directly into a PlayStation 5 and suits users who need sustained throughput for gaming or content creation. Buyers whose systems only support PCIe 3.0 will not reach the advertised speeds and should check compatibility first.

Sequential read up to 7000 MBps

Rated sequential read reaches 7000 MBps and sequential write reaches 6900 MBps, with random read and write IOPs both at 1.05M. This peak throughput figure is the primary metric for deciding if the drive matches the workload.

Highlights

  • Sequential reads up to 7000 MBps accelerate game loading
  • Sequential writes up to 6900 MBps speed up content creation
  • Random read and write up to 1.05M IOPs boost responsiveness
  • Included heatsink enables simple PlayStation 5 installation
  • 4TB capacity stores large libraries and heavy workloads

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 4TB T500 with heatsink or a different capacity?

The 4TB model with heatsink delivers the highest sequential reads at 7000 MBps and writes at 6900 MBps, plus 1.05M IOPs random performance, making it the top choice for heavy gaming and content creation workloads.

What do the 7000 MBps read and 6900 MBps write figures mean once the drive is installed in my PC or PS5?

Those are peak sequential speeds over PCIe 4.0 NVMe; real-world game loads and file transfers will be lower but still benefit from the 16% faster game loading and 42% quicker content-creation performance noted for this drive.

Does the PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface limit the T500 on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard or PS5 slot?

Yes, the drive will run at PCIe 3.0 speeds on an older slot, capping sequential throughput below the rated 7000 MBps read and 6900 MBps write, though it remains fully functional.
