I recently got a new gaming laptop and was looking at upgrading the storage to allow for more game installs along with potentially speeding up load times. That’s when I came across the latest generation of the Crucial T710 2TB internal Gen 5 M.2 SSD. Immediately what caught my eye was the claim for sequential read/write speeds of over 50% faster than what I was currently using… a whopping read speed of 14,900MB per second and write speed of 13,800MB per second! After doing a little extra research, I also learned that one of the specs that set the T710 aside was its temperature management, which was also a selling point for me, especially in a high-end laptop build where heat can be an issue. I have previously upgraded some of my other build with Crucial products, including SSDs and RAM, and have never had any issues with their products therefore I was sold in going with their SSD in a crowded market. Installation of the SSD was better and faster than expected using their software you can download off their website. I simply placed the SSD in one of the extra storage slots under the chassis and rebooted the system. The Crucial software automatically recognized the drive, walked me through a few simple steps and took it from there. The cloning for my initial drive took less than 20 minutes to transfer a little less than 1TB. After powering the system down and installing the new Crucial T710 in the original SSD slot, I was back up and running in no time. Since I already owned software that manages performance, I immediately noticed faster boot times reflected on my system. Of note, I ran SSD benchmarks on my previous drive for comparison once I got the T710 up and running. After running several benchmarks to compare specs, the T710 clearly beat my previous Gen5 SSD in every aspect including read/write speed, gaming and temperature. It’s also designed to handle hardcore AI tasks which seem to be what everyone is focusing on nowadays along with gaming. After using the drive as my OS and also where my high-end AAA games are installed, I have been impressed overall and would recommend the T710 to anyone in the market for a new or upgraded storage option as, in my opinion and as the benchmark reflected, it’s worth the extra investment.

This is a well performing drive that will work well in any high demand application such as gaming, photo editing, or video editing. I actually only have PCIe 4.0 slots on my computer, so I'm not even able to get the full performance out of this SSD, but it still is able to perform at the top end of the PCIe Gen4 spec. But this also means I'm future proofed for when I do upgrade my computer, I can get the blistering speeds of Gen5. However, in practicality, most people might not even notice the speed difference except in the most demanding applications. Like every new SSD, after installing you will need to initialize the disk. In Windows this means using the Disk Management utility. But installation and setup went off without a hitch and this SSD is ready to go with no hassle. Disk benchmarks show that this drive is among the best you can buy, even if it's just installed in a Gen4 slot. I got read speeds of about 7000mb/s and write speeds of about 5600mb/s which is about what I would expect in this configuration. Overall, I'm very happy with this drive.

The Crucial T710 Gen5 drive comes in black which goes perfect with my black PCB. It should go well with any color components you have since it is black. I also think 2TB is the perfect size for both your OS and a few space hungry AAA gaming titles. The manual tells you to use the included cloning software called Acronis True Image. It has 2 major drawbacks: 1. No option to change the partition size of the new drive. This is OK if your new drive is the same size or smaller than your old drive. If the new drive is larger, it will just make a partition with the size of your old drive and leave the rest of the drive unpartitioned. 2. Once I cloned my old drive to my new drive, the new drive wouldn't even boot into windows. YMMV on if this even works or not. I would not risk it and just use a different drive cloning tool. The performance of the NVMe is stellar. I was replacing an old drive that would get read speeds of around 1500-1900 MBS. The new Gen5 drive got real world read speeds of 6500-6700 MBS which is 3 to 4 times faster. Windows boots up noticeably faster. I played a couple games and loading speeds were also much faster. Both initially loading the game, and then loading new maps/areas was much improved from the old drive. I highly recommend this drive if you have a Gen3 or older drive. However, ditch the included cloning software if you are moving an old drive to the new one. Go online and find yourself better cloning software. There's plenty of good free options available.
