Recently, at Computex 2024, AMD unveiled its new Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPU lineup, and with that, the company also announced new X870 and X870E chipsets. One of the major highlights of the latest chipset is the availability of PCIe 5.0 support on all such motherboards. Hence, if you purchase an 870 series AM5 board, you won't have to check the spec sheet to see if your new PCIe 5.0-based NVMe SSD will work.
Speaking of which, Crucial's T705, which is one such drive, is now available for its lowest price on Amazon. Since it is a Gen5 NVMe, you can expect the fastest speeds on this as it is a significant upgrade over PCIe 3.0 and even 4.0 products. The 4TB T705, the one with the heatsink model, is currently at its lowest price (buying link towards the end of the article).
A heatsink on a PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD is not a luxury but rather a necessity, as these are known to run very hot owing to how fast the onboard microcontroller operates. There are multiple cases of drives shutting down due to the excessive heat.
Crucial 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). The claimed endurance (TBW) rating is 2400TB.
The stock heatsink that comes with the T705 is also premium with grooves and fins, trying to maximise radiation surface area. Get the Crucial T705 with a heatsink at the link below:
