SSD Crucial 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen5 CT2000T700SSD3

The Crucial T700 Pro Series NVMe SSD CT2000T700SSD3 is a PCIe Gen5 M.2 drive with 2TB capacity designed for high-performance computing, gaming and professional workloads. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 12,400 MB/s and write speeds up to 11,800 MB/s, uses TLC NAND and provides a TBW rating of 1200 TB for sustained durability.

Advantages

The T700 Gen5 SSD offers greatly improved throughput and IOPS compared with Gen4 drives, enabling faster game loading, quicker content creation workflows and reduced system bottlenecks. Support for NVMe over PCIe 5.0 yields low latency and high concurrent performance, while the optional aluminum and nickel‑plated copper heatsink helps maintain peak speeds under prolonged load without active cooling.

Suitable for

• High‑end gaming rigs and systems using DirectStorage
• 3D rendering and content‑creation workstations
• Databases and applications requiring high sequential and random I/O
• System builders and OEM upgrades needing a fast M.2 PCIe Gen5 SSD

Key specifications

• Model: CT2000T700SSD3
• Capacity: 2000 GB (2 TB)
• Interface: M.2, PCIe 5.0, NVMe
• Sequential read: up to 12,400 MB/s
• Sequential write: up to 11,800 MB/s
• NAND type: TLC NAND (Micron 232‑layer)
• TBW (endurance): 1200 TB

How to use

Install the M.2 PCIe Gen5 SSD into a compatible M.2 2280 slot on a motherboard that supports PCIe 5.0. Secure the module with the mounting screw, enable the M.2/PCIe slot in BIOS if necessary, and initialize and format the drive from your operating system disk management utility. For best results with DirectStorage, ensure your system meets the platform requirements and use a compatible GPU and driver stack.

Recommendations

For sustained heavy workloads and gaming sessions, use the T700 with the optional heatsink variant or ensure adequate motherboard cooling. Keep firmware and drivers up to date and back up important data regularly to maintain performance and reliability.
