Crucial T705 2TB

Part numberCT2000T705SSD3

The short answer

Crucial T705 2TB is a 2 TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD on PCIe 5.0, with a sequential read of 14500 MB/s. It is for a mini PC owner whose machine has a full-size M.2 2280 slot that runs at PCIe 5.0 speed and who wants the drive to use it.

Specifications

It stores 2 TB. Sequential speeds are 14500 MB/s read and 12700 MB/s write, and those peaks need a PCIe 5.0 slot; in a PCIe 4.0 slot the drive is held to that slower link. The M.2 2280 size means it only suits slots built for 2280 drives. No heatsink is fitted, so check how your machine cools the slot.

Which mini PCs it fits

An M.2 2280 NVMe drive needs an M.2 2280 slot, and this one is PCIe 5.0. The ASUS NUC 14 Pro, Beelink GTi14 Ultra, GEEKOM A8 Max and GMKtec NucBox G3 fit. The GMKtec NucBox K10, HP Z2 Mini G1a and Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 fit, but at PCIe 4.0 speed. The Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max) and Mac mini (M5 Pro) have no M.2 slot.

Before you buy

The machines that run it at PCIe 4.0 speed will not reach its headline speeds. Crucial does not state the drive's endurance, whether it has a DRAM cache, or whether it is single-sided. With no heatsink fitted, plan for cooling on your own.

Common questions

Will the T705 run at full speed in my mini PC?

Only in a slot that runs PCIe 5.0. The GMKtec NucBox K10, HP Z2 Mini G1a and Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 take it but run it at PCIe 4.0 speed.

Does the T705 come with a heatsink?

No, this version has no heatsink fitted, so keeping it cool depends on how your mini PC handles its M.2 slot or on a heatsink you add yourself.

Can I use it in a Mac mini or Mac Studio?

No, the Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max), Mac Studio (M5 Ultra) and Mac mini (M5 Pro) have no M.2 slot, and this drive is an M.2 2280 SSD.
