Crucial T700 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 Internal SSD

The Crucial CT2000T700SSD3 is a 2TB NVMe solid state drive that uses the PCIe Gen5 interface to push data at remarkable speeds. Designed for builders and upgraders who want every second of load time back, it can reach sequential reads of up to 12,400 MB/s and writes of up to 11,800 MB/s. Those numbers translate into noticeably quicker game launches, smoother 8K video scrubbing, and shorter render queues.

Inside the drive you will find Micron’s 232-layer TLC NAND. This advanced memory structure keeps latency low and endurance high, giving you the confidence to run demanding workloads day after day. The drive is fully compatible with current PCIe 5.0 motherboards, and it can also drop into Gen4 or Gen3 systems where it will run at the best speed each platform allows. If you are planning a full Gen5 build, pairing this non-heatsink version with your board’s integrated M.2 cooler helps maintain top performance during extended sessions.

Microsoft DirectStorage support makes the T700 a natural fit for modern games that stream large textures directly from storage. By moving the workload away from the CPU, the feature lets you multitask—such as screen-recording or voice chatting—without a hitch. Content creators will appreciate the same benefit when handling large project files in applications like Adobe Premiere Pro or Blender.

Whether you want faster level loads, smoother 3D workflows, or a more responsive everyday system, this drive provides a straightforward route to better performance without complicated setup.
