Title:
Crucial T700 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (CT2000T700SSD3)
 
Short Excerpt:
Next-gen PCIe 5.0 performance up to 12,400/11,800 MB/s (read/write) with 1,500K/1,500K IOPS—ideal for 4K/8K video, large project files, and ultra-fast game loads.
 
Overview:
The Crucial T700 pushes the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface to deliver extreme sequential and random speeds for creators, engineers, and gamers. Built on Micron 232-layer TLC NAND with a Phison E26 controller and onboard DRAM, it sustains high throughput for heavy workflows and takes advantage of Microsoft DirectStorage. Backward-compatible with PCIe Gen4/Gen3 (at reduced speeds), it fits standard M.2 2280 slots and works with motherboard heatsinks or aftermarket cooling.
 
Key Features:
• PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe for ultra-high bandwidth
• Up to 12,400 MB/s read and 11,800 MB/s write (2TB)
• Up to 1,500K IOPS random read/write (4K)
• Micron 232-layer TLC NAND + Phison E26 controller + DRAM cache
• DirectStorage-ready for faster game asset streaming
• M.2 2280 form factor; works with most motherboard M.2 heatsinks

Notes & Compatibility Tips:
• Requires an M.2 slot wired for PCIe (NVMe). For full speed, use a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot.
• Backward-compatible with PCIe 4.0/3.0 at lower speeds.
• Ensure adequate airflow and heatsink contact to prevent thermal throttling during sustained transfers.
