- Non-heatsink versions of the Crucial T705 must be installed with a motherboard or alternate heatsink to achieve optimal performance.
- Typical I/O performance as measured using CrystalDiskMark® with a queue depth of 512 and write cache enabled. Windows 11 Core isolation disabled for performance measurement. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results.
- See Micron.com/products/nand-flash for more information.
- Under typical conditions for airflow and ambient temperature, our pre-installed premium heatsink allows the T705 Gen5 SSD to run at max workload without the need to thermal throttle. Comparisons made to SSD temperatures without a cooling apparatus. Please ensure your drive has proper airflow for maximum performance.
- Compared to Crucial T500 Gen4 NVMe® SSD listed speed of 7,400MB/s. Actual speed may vary.
- Some storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes.
- Compared to Gen5 SSD performance without DirectStorage, based on internal test results with supported GPU that uses GPU decompression.
- Compared to Crucial MX500 SATA SSD listed speed of 560MB/s. Actual speed may vary.
- Fresh-out-of-box (FOB) performance measured with a typical Microsoft DirectStorage workload compared to the FOB average performance of Crucial P5 Plus & T500 SSDs with similar workloads.
- Based on internal test results measuring SPECwpc benchmark scores comparing the Crucial T705 to Crucial P5 Plus and T500 SSDs. Your performance may vary.
