Even then, it's one of the faster ones.It's noticeable when booting and saving loading data. If your playing video games the only difference you will really notice is saving and loading data. The drive does not improve of render speeds. However, games that support DirectStorage might see a slight noticeable improvement.Interested in to see it's longevity with the level of heat that it can get to.Great as a main drive, maybe not quite worth it if all you are using it for is install games.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10,500MBps with Crystal Disk benchmark test

C. · 5 March 2025

I asked MS Co-pilot for a Gen5 SSD and it recommend this NVMe as best value and performance. It was easy to fit in PC and I get 10,500MBps with Crystal Disk benchmark test. I moved my windows 11 on it and performance is blinding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, heatsink is removable should you need to.

P. · 28 April 2025

Easy to fit and FAST. I coupled this with an ASUS PRIME X870 and Ryzen 9-7900X and Win11Firmware was easily updated with the Crucial tools.Heatsink does a good job, and IS removable in case you wanted to fit in a constrained laptop space.11778 MB Read and 10271 Write via CrystalDiskMark test

Blazing fast drive - purchased for a new build at home- really cant complainEasily installed and worked straight away for me, but i have been a system builder for over 20years.Good reliable drives in my experience

5.0 out of 5 stars Supper fast gen5 m.2 drive.

M. · 3 April 2025

Works great. Drivers haven’t quite caught up and total speed not reached but it’s super fast anyway.2gb and above have slightly higher speeds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good

It's amazing 😍But expensive 🫰😔

1.0 out of 5 stars I got 2 defective T705 4TB from Amazon.

C. · 21 May 2025

Okay, quick one but worth reading. The Crucial T705 is a 5 Star device that delivers ALL the speed and stability it promises. HOWEVER...1 Star is for the two I got from Bolo (sent from partners). Neither the one I first bought nor its replacement worked at all in any of 3 systems.I used the refund to get one from Crucial UK, and THAT I give 5 Stars. It's an awesome drive that is massive overkill for most people, BUT GET IT FROM CRUCIAL, not from Bolo partners. They don't seem to have the proper precautions and measures taken for the drives.Hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insanely Fast

J. · 1 February 2025

This SSD is insanely fast! I have another Gen 3 M.2 as well as this so i also decided to copy a file over to this new drive I first did 1GB but it was instant so I decided to copy a 30GB Video file just so i could see it copy and see the transfer rate in windows but it was so fast I couldn't see it. the 30GB file took windows about 5 seconds to calculate the data to copy but then once it calculated it it literally took 1 second to copy over 30GB with no exaggeration. Maybe one day all my drives with be M.2 drives like this. I have it connected to an asus X870 motherboard with a heatsink included on the board and its now been installed running constantly for 7 days and its at 49c which is a normal, so I'm really impressed with it.

Blazing Fast

Disco altas prestaciones.

J. · 31 May 2025

El producto tiene prestaciones por encima de las del pc por lo que consigo las máximas prestaciones de mi equipo manteniendo el disco sin exprimir, por lo que no se calienta y da cero problemas.Puede ser una sobre inversión al no exprimir el disco, pero me aseguro que será muy difícil que me dé fallos o se averíe, por lo que me merece la pena, ya que es el disco de sistema.

Boosted My PC with it.

Buy naked version – not this heatsink version

P.c. · 7 November 2024

You might think (as I did) that you’re doing better by getting this OEM heatsink version – paying about $30 extra. I learned the lesson in a hard way that; exactly the opposite holds true. Crucial periodically runs deals; selling heatsink version even cheaper than naked drive. Don’t fall for that and simply buy the naked drive, whatever the price. Otherwise (if you buy heatsink version); you’ll either have to do below surgery (which is not for the faint-hearted) or your drive will fail earlier (because of heat) and Crucial will blame you running it that way (and very likely not honor your warranty – more on that later).This Gen.5 T705 is an extremely fast M2 drive. I’m very happy with its unbelievable performance. I use it on my new Asrock Taichi Lite Z890 motherboard. After I assembled my PC, I noticed that the hottest temperature on my system is this M2 drive. Not CPU, not GPU, not RAM modules and not my Gen.4 Samsung 990 Pro M2. While PC is completely idle (not running anything); that Crucial M2 displayed 61C temperature. I stress-tested my GPU (which is milimeters away from this Crucial) and that 61C quickly rose close to 80C (mind you; I’m not even stressing that drive itself). I immediately decided to replace that tiny OEM heatsink, as it’s completely not up to par for a decent cooling job.I’ll number my attached pics – so you can relate to my text here.I use HWiNFO64 freeware to check all my system characteristics. When you look at its reporting for this Crucial drive (pic-1); you’ll see that the drive keeps (in it) record of how long you used it at above 87C (warning) and 89C (critical). So if you (without even being aware) barbecue your drive and send it in for warranty replacement (when it fails); you can guess who Crucial will put the blame on?Now all new MBs put both that Gen.5 M2 slot and Gen.5 GPU slot right next to CPU (distance has to be short). You can see from (pic-2) that; this M2 drive is literally sandwitched between towering wall of GPU (no heat escape that direction) and my humongous Noctua NH-D15 G2 CPU cooler (airflow is there, towards rear suction fan). But it’s absolutely clear that; this OEM Crucial heatsink is just too small to provide adequate cooling. I even didn’t try Asrock MB’s original heatsink for that slot (as it’s even smaller). So it’s not even a matter of preference; you simply got to replace that OEM heatsink. That’s why it’s much easier to buy a naked drive to begin with; so you can avoid below pain of surgery.Another point; those Gen.5 M2 drives are just going thru initial growing pains (in fact, Crucial is still the only company to offer such speed-demon drive). Why is it putting out that much heat?; that is the first question (even more heat than Z890 chipset itself – which works fine with about same size heatsink). You’ll see on one of my attached pics (when I took out the naked drive); there is metal body Phison controller there (where actual two RAM chips have plastic body). Probably that much heat is coming from that Phison controller – not the RAM chips. If those Gen.5 M2 drives are all to put out so much heat; then industry will probably evolve to a different casing – so they can be cooled like CPUs. Time will tell.After searching many M2 heatsinks (active and passive); I decided on this passive Thermalright HR-09 2280 PRO (pic-3). There are ones with active fan cooling. But such small fans always fail in short time and they are noisy. So I went with this largest passive heatsink I could find. I hope that Noctua also starts making large M2 heatsinks. My Phanteks full-tower case can even house twice the height. Width-wise (as you are seeing in pic-3) it’s literally 1 milimeter from CPU cooler. Even if it touches there; no problem, as nothing moving (it might even get better cooling that way). When I run my PC with this new heatsink; Crucial M2 fall back to 47C. Still the hottest component on that motherboard; but much better than previous 61C with OEM heatsink on it. My other Gen.4 Samsung 990 Pro M2 runs at 42C anyway (under Asrock’s large metal surface heatsink). If I ever see my usage pushing it to above 80C; I’ll simply tweak my BIOS fan curve, to run my case fans faster / earlier. So far, 14C saving is good enough for me.Now on to surgery : how to remove naked Crucial drive from it’s OEM heatsink.I repeat: this process needs only two special tools (that you have to use), but more importantly very precise hand control (I happened to make my living as field service engineer – so it’s all easy for me). If you slip your hand once; you can instantly ruin your expensive drive. If you are not sure; don’t even try, I’d humbly suggest.You’ll need an anti-static mat (see wrist connection on pic-4) and blade opener tool (pic-5). No, you can not use a knife or flat-blade screwdriver instead. You were warned.On the side of the drive, you’ll notice two dimple dots on the edges and one flat line (blue arrows on pic-6). Insert your tool firmly but very slowly till you only pass that middle-line (if you push it all the way in; you’ll instantly damage the board/components of your drive; you can throw it away at that point). Once you merely pass that middle-line apply sideways leverage to rock it out of its grasp. Also do the same on both dimple dots. You’ll feel that the bottom casing cover slightly moved (pic-7). Now switch to other side with your tool and do the same there. As you slowly and patiently repeat that left & right few times; the bottom cover will start to come out (pic-8). Attention to the blue sticker indicated by arrow on that pic. As slowly pulling out that bottom metal cover; you’ll be peeling that sticker. No hasty movements there, as you don’t want to damage anything. Now that cover completely comes out (pics 9, 10).Now you remain with your naked drive sticking to actual heatsink, by blue-stickers on the other side (pic-11). This is the step needing utmost precision: you insert your tool between that blue-sticker and heatsink (and NOT between blue-sticker and the chip!). See detail on pic-12. You very slowly push your tool deeper towards other side (so; sideways, not length-wise). You are separating that blue-tape from the heatsink. Don’t you dare to yank the board by pulling length-wise; It’s a very thin board and you’ll simply snap it in two. Just be patient and do above described on those 3 blue-stickers from side to side.After enough loosening of stickers; finally lift your naked drive sideways (never pull length-wise). Pic-13.Now you have to clean all remnants of blue-stickers from both side of your naked drive. You’ll use your fingers and nails doing that (do not use any tool, as you can damage those microscopic components on board.Now your drive is finally ready to be mounted on to new heatsink (pic-14). Follow the simple instructions which come with heatsink. Just pay attention to orientation before you stick on to it; so you don’t put upside down. You’ll also need to align screw-hole of your drive and heatsink. After you place the bottom metal cover; you first firmly push it towards heatsink (firm, but not crushing hard) > then you tighten 4 side screws. So it gets good thermal conductivity thru new stickers on both sides.The hole of that new heatsink lines up with “screw-hole” of your drive. My Asrock motherboard has such “tool-less” rotating notch for that hole. So I was able to slide that notch between heatsink and M2 board. Pay attention how your motherboard mounting is (actually even before starting all this adventure). Because if you need to use an actual screw to mount your M2 drive to your MB; now you’ll need much longer version of this very tiny mounting screw. If your MB also has such “tool-less” thingy, I hope that it’ll also slide in as described above.If you are reading this before you actually bought your drive; I presume that at this point you decided to buy the naked version and avoid that Crucial heatsink nightmare at all cost, correct?!
