Crucial T705 PCIe 5.0 SSD

If you want the absolutely fastest NVMe SSD today, Micron's Crucial T705 PCIe Gen5 SSD is unquestionably the one. However, considering the price, the slightly less-speedy Crucial T700, now with reduced costs, is a better deal. In most cases, you won't be able to tell them apart anyway.

However, for most PC users, a higher capacity PCIe 4.0 SSD is a better option, especially as you can get twice the capcity for half the price of the 1TB model, while 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSDs cost less than the 2TB T705. If you have the cash and want the fastest SSD around, though, look no further than the Crucial T705.

The Crucial T705 is just fast. That is its entire reason for being: go as fast as possible. And in that regard, it is a complete success. A drive review rarely shows such performance dominance, but the T705 pulled it off with perhaps the exception of the ATTO benchmark results. Once I get other 14GB/s drives in for testing, it may end up with some company on my charts, but for now, the Crucial T705 sits in a class all by itself.
