Crucial T700 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Internal SSD

The Crucial T700 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 NVMe Internal SSD is designed for users who demand the highest available storage bandwidth from a consumer-grade solid-state drive. Built on the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and housed in the widely compatible M.2 form factor, this drive is purpose-built for next-generation platforms that expose the full Gen 5 bandwidth envelope. With sequential read speeds reaching 12,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 11,800 MB/s, the T700 4TB represents a significant generational leap over PCIe 4.0 drives. These figures make it well-suited for workloads that move large files rapidly — video editing timelines, large dataset processing, game streaming from storage, and OS-intensive multitasking all benefit from the sustained throughput this drive delivers. At 4TB, the T700 offers enough capacity to house a primary operating system installation, a sizeable games library, and an active working project archive simultaneously, reducing the need to manage overflow storage. The NVMe protocol ensures that command-queue depths and latency characteristics remain optimised for high-concurrency workloads, not just peak sequential performance. The M.2 2280 form factor slots directly into compatible desktop motherboards and high-performance laptops that feature a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot. Users upgrading from SATA or PCIe 3.0 / 4.0 platforms will need to confirm motherboard compatibility before installation. Verified Specifications: • Model: Crucial T700 | SKU: CT4000T700SSD3 • Capacity: 4TB • Interface: PCIe 5.0 x4 (NVMe) • Form Factor: M.2 (2280) • Sequential Read: 12,400 MB/s • Sequential Write: 11,800 MB/s • SSD Generation: Gen 5 • Brand: Crucial (a Micron Technology brand) Note: A compatible PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot is required to achieve rated maximum speeds. Operating in a PCIe 4.0 slot will result in lower throughput. A heatsink is strongly recommended due to the thermal output of PCIe 5.0 controllers at sustained load; check whether your motherboard M.2 slot heatsink is included or sourced separately
