It is very, very fast. The newer T705 is quicker and cooler but I got a 4TB for $200 less than that model and I gave up maybe 2000 MB/s. I am using it with my board FROZR hyeat sink and even with stress testing it I can't get it over 72C so not close to throttling. Honestly, I don't notice a huge diff over my Gen 4 990 Pro. Boot times are very good but the Ryzen 9000 boards don't exactly rip off boots. I used 1TB for Windows and partitioned the rest for programs,

This ssd T700 is awsome. I just built a PC with top of the line components and chose this in 1tb and 4tb. The transfer speed is out if this world. Highly recommended

The T700 will NOT work in an enclosure! They need to specify this! It will mount for ~1 minute before ejecting, despite trying multiple enclosures. I tried two Thunderbolt 5 enclosures and they won't even recognize it. I then tried it on a Gen 4 motherboard that Crucial's site says is compatible, and it doesnt mount. Crucial customer service said "We can't guarantee compatibility, try a Gen 5 PCIe motherboard." YOUR WEBSITE SAYS ITS COMPATIBLE with the TUF Gaming z690 Plus motherboard! If you "cant guarantee" that it will work in an enclosure, you need to state this on the website! It's literally one of two ways people use these. It is less than 90 days old and it doesn't even stay connected for a minute anymore. It's useless to me now.

The Crucial T700 4TB PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD is one of the fastest drives I’ve ever used, and it truly sets a new standard for performance. Speed: With PCIe Gen 5x4 technology, the read and write speeds are simply incredible. Large files transfer in seconds, and load times for games and applications are virtually instant. Capacity: At 4TB, there is more than enough space for a full gaming library, 4K video projects, or massive data workloads. Perfect balance of speed and storage. Performance in Real Use: Video editing, rendering, and heavy multitasking run flawlessly. It keeps up even under the most demanding workloads without slowing down. Thermals: Runs cool with proper heatsink/cooling. Even under stress, performance remains stable without thermal throttling. Future-Proof: With Gen 5 speeds, this SSD is built for the latest motherboards and ensures top-tier performance for years to come. Overall, the Crucial T700 4TB is a beast of an SSD—ideal for enthusiasts, content creators, and professionals who need both speed and storage capacity.

I was in the market for a fast reliable ssd for my main drive and was introduced to this beast couple weeks ago and had to buy one. I mean the speed is crazy and having 4tb you’ll never run out of space. Now there were some concerns regarding using it as the main drive. I haven’t have any problems yet but it does get a little too hot on my motherboard which I believe slows it down as well. Overall liking it so far and we will see what happens next.
