Micron & Phison Deliver The Crucial T700 Gen5 SSDs, Fastest On The Planet With Up To 12.4 GB/s Transfer Speeds
The first PCIe Gen5 SSDs are already available on retail but Micron & Phison have partnered to offer the fastest storage solutions in the form of the Crucial T700 series, delivering transfers of 12.4GB/s.
Recently, we took a look at our first PCIe Gen5 SSDs which are readily available in retail but at very high prices. The first-gen products that we tested come with up to 10 GB/s transfer speeds as the NAND Flash still needs time to mature but it looks like Phison, in collaboration with Micron, is going to offer the fastest SSDs yet, the Crucial T700 series. The features of the drive are listed below:
In slides revealed by Momomo_US, the Crucial T700 PCie Gen5 NVMe SSD is quoted as the "World's Fastest Gen5 NVMe SSD" which is designed for high-performance gaming, photo, and video editing. Some of the partners include AMD, NVIDIA & ASUS. Just like the other SSDs we tested, the Crucial T-Series products will feature Micron's 232L NAND and will be Microsoft DirectStorage API compliant.
As for the specs, the Crucial T700 Gen5 NVMe SSDs will come with the standard NVMe 2.0 PCIe Gen 5 x4 interface in the M.2 2280 form factor. It will feature 1 TB, 2 TB, and up to 4 TB capacities with a rated speed of 12.4 GB/s (Sequential Read) and 11.8 GB/s (Sequential Write). The majority of Gen 5 drives available right now peak out at 10 GB/s Read and 9.5 GB/s Write speeds. Furthermore, these T700 Gen5 SSDs will be available in a Non-heatsink and Heatsink option but will drop the active-fan cooler which means that you don't have to worry about extra noise in your PC when running these.
Crucial goes further into the heatsink design of the T700 Gen5 NVMe SSDs which feature a double-sided PCB with targeted thermal materials, nickel-plated copper
