The Crucial T705 PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD is a powerhouse, claiming the title of the world’s fastest SSD with sequential read speeds up to 14,500 MB/s.
Designed for top-tier performance, this SSD targets professionals and power users alike.
Key Highlights:
- Speeds: Up to 14,500 MB/s read and 12,700 MB/s write.
- Options: Available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities with bare drive or heatsink options.
- Compatibility: Works with PCIe 5.0 desktops, workstations, and even PlayStation 5.
Real-World Performance
Tested on a Ryzen 9 7950X system, the T705 delivered nearly 95% of its advertised speeds, proving its dominance in the SSD market.
It’s also backward-compatible with PCIe 3.0 and 4.0, although you’ll need Gen5 hardware to fully unleash its potential.
Pricing
- 1TB: $240 (bare)
- 2TB (white heatsink): $484
- 4TB (heatsink): $730
Who Is It For?
- Professionals: Ideal for handling massive video files where speed saves time.
- Enthusiasts: For those chasing bragging rights or ultimate performance.
Keep in mind that full benefits require a Gen5-compatible motherboard and a modern CPU like Intel’s 13th/14th Gen or AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series.
The T705 offers premium performance, but its high price means it’s best suited for those who truly need—or want—the fastest SSD available.
