Crucial is one of the market leaders, and the Micron-owned brand has just continued to make itself the center of attention when it launched the T705, a completely new flagship solid-state hard drive model with many performance advantages. capacity.

Crucial confidently calls the T705 a "fully optimized Gen5 SSD masterpiece", "bringing PCIe 5.0 performance to a new level" with the ability to support data transfer speeds of up to 14.5GB/s , significantly faster than its predecessor T700.

Like other manufacturers, Crucial allows users to equip their SSDs with an integrated aluminum and copper heatsink. In case the motherboard already has a heatsink for the SSD hard drive, users can choose a cheaper version that does not come with a heatsink. Just note that heatsinks are mandatory for high-performance PCIe 5.0 SSDs. This type of hard drive can significantly reduce performance and even be damaged if not cooled properly.
