The Crucial T705 SSD boasts a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface with a claimed read speed of 13,600 MB/s, making it the fastest SSD available. However, it necessitates a compatible motherboard and heatsink, and for most users, PCIe 4.0 drives remain sufficient. While it may appeal to those wanting top specs, the high price compared to PCIe 4.0 alternatives raises questions about its necessity. Its design is understated, being an M.2 2280 SSD focused on performance rather than aesthetics, boasting advanced technology like 232 layers of TLC flash.
You'll need a PCIe 5.0 slot on your motherboard, or you're paying a premium for nothing.
Just wanting to have the biggest numbers is a perfectly acceptable reason: as of the time of writing, this is the fastest PC SSD you can get.
You'll pay almost twice as much for this drive as you will for a PCIe 4.0 Crucial P3 Plus SSD in the same capacity.
Its 232 layers of TLC flash across a 70 mm² die and a gigabyte of Micron LPDDR4 cache give it an incredible data transfer rate.
