Crucial is a global brand of Micron Technology, Inc., one of the largest memory and flash storage manufacturers in the world. The company's product lineup includes award-winning solid state drives (SSDs) and computer memory upgrades (DRAM) for more than 50,000 systems. These products have been qualified and approved by major original equipment manufacturers and every single module has been rigorously tested at the component and module level. Each SSD also undergoes over a thousand hours of prerelease validation testing and hundreds of qualification tests to ensure optimal reliability and performance.
Earlier this year, Crucial unveiled its first Gen5 NVMe SSD, the T700. Designed for enthusiasts, gamers, creators, and professionals who need next generation storage, this M.2 form factor drive is powered by Phison's new PS5026-E26 controller and is available with up to 4TB of Micron's industry-leading 232-layer 3D TLC NAND flash. The T700 is also available with or without a custom-designed premium heatsink and is equipped with an ultra-fast PCIe Gen 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 interface to deliver up to 12,400 MB/s read and 11,800 MB/s write speeds. To top it all off, the drive is optimized for Microsoft’s DirectStorage API software technology, which allows games to load much faster by leveraging the full speed of NVMe SSDs.
The T700 is available in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB capacities. For this review, Crucial sent us the 2TB version of the drive, which is capable of delivering up to 12,400 MB/s sequential read and 11,800 MB/s sequential write speeds as well as up to 1,500K random read and write IOPS.
