Crucial T700 PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD is fast as hell and just as hot.


Recommended Posts

Well, I spent the extra bucks and bought a Crucial T700 PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD, even though I had the INLAND TD510 Gen5 and wow, you can tell the difference. The benchmarks are what they say for both but the T700 feels so much faster. So, if you have Gen5 PCIe system, get the Crucial T700 MVMe SSD with the heatsink, because you will need it. It is worth every penny.

They both run pretty hot, so make sure you get one with a good heatsink.

Hello,

What is the difference in size between the Inland and the Crucial drives' heat sinks?

Inland has a fan and is lightly more compact than the Crucial but the fan on the Inland has a high pitched whine to it.

Outside of benchmarks, in what way are you noticing the difference in performance?

Things are just quicker. You press on something and there is little to no lag.

Interesting! Are you sure it's not placebo? Are the randoms on the T700 significantly better?

can you post images of a stressful benchmark session on both drives?

I was afraid someone would ask for benchmarks. I'll have to swap drives, so give me a few days.

I'm guessing this was on a fresh install? No duh it runs faster..

Most motherboards have heatsinks for them already. I'd truct Samsung or WD before I trust Crucial. But that's me. Sue me..

You mean Sandisk? Its a rebrand.

I'd trust Crucial over Sandisk anything, rebranded or not.

Just make sure your motherboard heatsinks for SSD are good enough.

A wide range of new SSDs are facing overheating issues when pushed to their limits, thereby resulting in thermal shutdowns. The malfunction is specific to PCIe 5.0 SSDs based on the Phison PS5026-E26 controller inside. If you don’t have a proper cooling solution in place, you could be in for a world of trouble.

 

Well my motherboard doesn't have Heatsink included with the M.2 Slot, but mine is only PCiE Gen 3, so hopefully doesn't run too hot.     Hopefully my next future motherboard will have A Quality Heatsink for Gen 4 or Gen  5 M.2 NvME SSD
