Recently, we covered a deal on the Crucial T705 NVMe SSD as it hit one of the lowest-ever prices. The drive price fell further for a while although it has again settled at $410 for the 4TB heatsink variant. You can check it out in the article here.
Aside from the T705, the T700 is also available for a very good price. This is the more value-oriented option among the two as it is much cheaper though you do lose speed although both have the same Phison PS5026-E26 controller.
While the Crucial T705 promises sequential reads and writes speeds of up to 14,100 and 12,600MB/s, respectively, and random reads and writes of up to 1,500K and 1,800K IOPS (input-output operations per second) respectively, the T700 claims sequential read/write speeds up to 12,400MB/s and 11,800MB/s respectively and random read/write speeds of up to 1,500K IOPS.
Aside from speeds, the T700 is identical spec-wise to the T705. That means the promised endurance or terabytes written (TBW) value of the 4TB T700 is 2400TB as this is built on TLC (triple-level cell) 232-layer Micron NAND flash memory. The SSD also features 4GB of LPDDR4 DRAM cache.
The T700 firmware, like the T705"s, is also DirectStorage-ready which makes this drive great for gaming.
