How big is the difference between PCIe 5.0 *4 and PCIe 4.0 *4 is that in addition to the effective increase in data transfer speed, it is expected that the speed of loading game scenes and entering the game interface will be further improved. At the end of February, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD was introduced, bringing data transfer to a whole new level.
In particular, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD is powered by 232 layers of TCL NAND flash memory, which will reach 14,500MB/s read and 12,700MB/s write speeds. With its powerful and excellent comprehensive performance, the product is expected to become a blessing for gamers, video and picture workers.
Large storage space, 3 customized specifications to choose from
With the rapid development of the field of personal computers and the comprehensive breakthrough of audio-visual technology, in the face of 100GB of 4K and 8K video materials and 100GB of game files, storage space and read and write speed have become another key factor affecting users' work and entertainment.
With the innovation of hard disk technology and the continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, large-capacity hard drives have become the new darling of this era with the rise of the short video field. Faced with the need for high-volume, time-efficient data reads and writes, Crucial has made great efforts in the field of solid-state drives and brought the new T705 series.
In terms of product specifications, Crucial has brought a total of 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB SSDs to choose from, which also means that users with light, moderate, and heavy computer needs can find the "ideal" style according to their needs.
Classic M.2 2280 design with specifications to choose from
After selecting the storage space, do users have any other choices, and the answer is obviously yes. The Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD is available without a heatsink, with a heatsink, and a limited edition with only 2TB capacity.
In addition to the optional with or without a heatsink, the Limited Edition will provide users with a white case with a white heatsink to choose from, which is a boon for the installers.
This time, we got the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD with a thermal vest, which is designed with super thermal armor on the front. Unlike the version with an aluminum-copper heatsink, the Crucial's customized passive cooling module is made of aluminum and nickel-plated copper, and as the case fan is turned on after the host is turned on, the heat from the surface of the SSD will be quickly transferred to the rungs through the large thermal conductivity area, and with the help of airflow into the air, providing long-term stable operation.
In terms of size, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD is designed with an M.2 2280 form factor, which means that the version without an increased heatsink will easily fit into a laptop, providing power for users with 13th-14th Gen Intel® Cores and AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series CPUs.
14500MB/s efficient read, read and write speed beyond imagination
Today, we will use the intel review platform to bring a full range of tests and interpretations of how the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD performs.
CrystalDiskInfo 9 x64测试数据
From the CrystalDiskInfo 9 x64 test data, it is not difficult to find that the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD uses the PCIe 5.0 x4 bus and supports the NVMe 1.4 technical standard. Different from traditional Gen4 SSDs, its data throughput capacity is also greatly improved compared with such products due to its bus interface advantages. After the partitioning and formatting process, the 2TB version of the product we got this time actually has 1863GB left. In terms of hardware, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD brings DirectStorage technology, which also gives the drive a huge advantage in terms of speed, which is about 15% faster than traditional Gen4 SSDs, occupying an industry-leading position.
HD Tune Pro test data
Like many SSDs on the market today, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD is designed to be cache-free. However, this design does not affect the data throughput of the hard drive. In the HD Tune Pro software, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD reached a data read speed of about 10.6GB/s and a write capacity of about 9.8GB/s in the 200,000MB data read and write test, and the read and write speed fluctuated periodically, far exceeding that of Gen4 hard drive products. The Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD is more than capable of handling complex usage scenarios, effectively reducing the risk of suspended animation, blue screen, and crash in replication and copying scenarios, as well as gaming scenarios, and providing long-lasting operation guarantees.
ATTO Disk Benchmark测试数据
ATTO Disk Benchmark is a test software used to measure the transfer rate of hard disks, USB drives, and memory cards. We know that small files are often the root cause of reducing the read and write ability of hard disks, and the stronger the maximum read and write speed capability, the greater the impact. Through the grading test, it can be found that the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD has excellent read and write performance, with a file write speed of more than 64KB stable at about 11GB/s, and the read speed can be basically controlled at about 9GB/s, which is close to the highest level that the SSD can achieve, and the quality control is excellent.
Crystal DiskMark测试数据
Crystal DiskMark is a small tool mainly used to test the read and write speed of hard drives. Through the above tests, it is not difficult to find that the continuous write speed of the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD can be basically stable at 13811.29MB/s, and the read speed can reach 10703.42MB/s, especially the performance of the 10281.40MB/s data write and read mixed test at the same time is also remarkable. Compared to previous hard drives, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD brings an all-round surpass, and the double growth rate makes the drive have twice the performance of the previous generation.
In comparison, the actual read and write speed of the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD is close to the official announcement of about 14500MB/s read speed and about 12700MB/s data write capacity, which means that the actual use process will bring close to the theoretical data read and write ability. Coupled with Crucial's high-quality quality control and stress resistance, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD can easily cope with sudden stress, even under full load, providing long-lasting, efficient, and stable data stream processing capabilities for gaming.
TxBENCH test data
TxBENCH is a test software used to test the storage performance and read and write speed of storage products. In this round of testing, the Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD still delivered relatively good results. The sequential read reaches 13131.7MB/s, the sequential write reaches 12067.19MB/s, the random read reaches 3609.419MB/s, and the random write reaches 8058.751MB/s.
