Deal | Limited time sale brings super-fast Crucial T705 PCIe Gen 5 SSD down to $154.99
Crucial T705 is one of the fastest SSDs you can purchase now. The 2 TB variant of the storage drive can deliver up to 12.4 GB/s of read speed and 11.8 GB/s of write speed, which is a big leap from PCIe 4.0 options. Its 1 TB variant also delivers super-fast reads and writes, with up to 11.7 GB/s and 9.5 GB/s of rated speeds, respectively.
The good part is that the launch price is very competitive for what the PCIe Gen 5 SSD brings to the table. But thanks to this limited-time sale, the value just got even better. You can now get the 1 TB variant of Crucial T705 for $154.99, which is a generous $85 discount from the launch price. The 2 TB variant, on the other hand, is currently sitting at $279.99, a solid $120 price drop.
Of course, PCIe Gen 5 SSDs are known for running hot, and you will not see these drives performing the best if they aren't equipped with a proper cooling solution. While Crucial T705 has options with heatsinks, the ones that are on sale don't come with one. But that's an easy fix, as you can purchase an NVMe M.2 heat sink separately for less than $10.
Besides the latest PCIe 5.0 standard, Crucial built the SSD with Micron 232-layer TLC NAND. It's known for delivering high throughput while keeping the latency low. The T705 NVMe storage drive also supports Microsoft DirectStorage, enabling it and the GPU to transfer data without making it go through the CPU. This reduces loading times and lowers CPU load.
