Product Information

Its Crystal DiskMark 4K (small-file) results were more sedate, with its 4K read speed falling below the average of the PCIe 4. Still, I'll say that verifying a Steam install (or doing a big update to an installed Steam game) can go a lot quicker on a Gen4 or Gen5 SSD. Yeah, Gen5 SSDs are very much less about typical consumer use and more for specific use cases like servers.

I would expect any testing that does not involve throwing around continuous hundreds of GB of data would not see any significant (or any) performance impact from removing the cosmetic greebly. The T700’s 2280 (22mm wide, 80mm long) form factor uses the brand-new Phison PS5026-E26 controller and Micron’s own 232-layer, TLC NAND. While the PCMark 10 Overall Storage score aggregates the results of multiple tasks, you can also see the scores for some of its individual trace-based tests. Throttling only kicks off in ATTO at 2MiB block size, meaning everything less than that wasn't hit the thermal limit.g. cities to not look like Stalinist Moscow (that is using one type of texture, which gets reused on various walls, and therefore doesn't need to load much when such a texture fills half the screen, with three types of balconies reused to make it look not as monotone) - that isn't clear of course.

The T700 is also not the first to be announced by a big brand name, as we can see with the Corsair MP700. As to the optional heatsink, most users will be fine without it, but if you’re going to pound on the drive in a system with lots of other heat-producing components, it couldn’t hurt. Rock Paper Shotgun is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited. Working in close collaboration with controller, CPU and motherboard vendors, Crucial is the only brand whose parent company, Micron, innovated the 232-layer TLC NAND 3 inside the T700 Gen5 SSD. But the drive's durability rating is such that unless you're writing unusually large amounts of data to the SSD, it's a safe bet that the T700 will last the full warranty period.With the motherboard heatsink installed, the T700 was hitting a temperature of 81 degrees Celsius under peak load when benchmarking. Micron has gone from four planes to six and has made other improvements that make multi-planar operations faster for superior internal parallelization. I had the T700 going at full pelt with an Intel Core i9-12900K, but only after squeezing it into the adapter card that came with my Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero mobo. SSDs, paired with speedy 232-Layer TLC flash, thus creating the fastest SSD we’ve ever tested in our labs.
