Crucial T700 PCIe 5.0 SSD Preview Unit Hits 12 GB/s Read and Write Speeds, May 2023 Release Hinted

T0@st · Mar 18, 2023

Crucial is keen to drum up early interest for an upcoming SSD model, and the Linus Tech Tips team has received and tested a sample unit. The T700 is a PCIe Gen 5 NVMe M.2 SSD storage solution based around a Phison PS5026-E26 controller, which is a very common choice for the current generation of PCIe 5.0 SSDs available on the market. Micron 3D NAND chips look to be present on the T700's PCB, and a Crucial-branded heatsink is mounted to the provided sample unit. It is interesting to note that the uncovered T700 unit bears a striking resemblance to Phison's E26 Engineering Reference sample, although the latter appears to feature SK Hynix memory chips, instead of Micron.

The LTT team posted benchmark results from a Crystal Disk Mark test session, and the T700 achieved maximums of 12.4 GB/s sequential read and 11.9 GB/s write speeds. This represents an almost two fold jump over the performance of Crucial's PCIe 4.0 based P5 Plus SSD, which is a substantial improvement and also very impressive considering the T700's usage of a passive cooling solution.

The Crucial Memory Twitter account has stated in a reply to the LTT tweet that the T700 is "dropping in May."

There is no word on pricing for T700 at this stage, but anticipate it being expensive, since companies charge a premium for cutting edge SSD tech during launch windows.

No fan, hopefully final version will have more fins for better cooling.

i'd wish we would work on software and hardware that can actually benefit from fast storage beside just raw file copy speed.
even forspoken a game with direct storage shows zero benefits from a half decade old gen 3 SSD vs a brand new 10GB/s gen 5 drive.

T700 does everything you don't need really well, but ...

Bring back optane Intel, please - just get the message out there, surely it can't just die?!?

Because sequential speeds are borderline irrelevant unless you work with content creation and regularly transfer large single files.

Games can and do benefit from faster storage, but, like system files, that is typically lots of small files.

While alot of folks are struggling to pay their electric bills, what difference is it gonna make whether you have a shiny new, uber-fast gen 5 drive or a slothy slow gen 1 drive......

Yep, a perfect time to launch an uber-expensive new product

Is 3x faster not an improvement? I understand 2 seconds vs 6 is marginal but game loading speeds are quick already, where do you need more speed if not working with large files?

Again, no performance increase where it matters.....I'd rather just have a PCIe 3.0 1TB drive with all SLC NAND than a PCIe 5.0 TLC drive.....who is well informed on NAND? What's it going to take to see improved random r/w's? A major breakthrough in NAND architecture?

Honestly what can you do with 118GB of storage?

Nice dodge. What's the point of a 118GB drive other than a basic operating system?

Athlonite · Mar 19, 2023

You'd think that a rando 4K read would be far faster than a rando 4K write considering the extra work needing to be done for a write cycle compared to a read why are these read speeds so dog damn awful they seem to have gone backward even my old SATA Sammy 860 Evo gets 126MBps rando 4K reads

A basic OS is 8 GB or less bud.

jallenlabs · Mar 19, 2023

These are great if you are moving large data sets around your PC. But who does that? Where it counts, this drive is still slow compared to say an Intel Optane 905p.

Cache drive or scratch drive. These were intended to sit in front of a bunch of HDDs in a server.

Psychoholic · Mar 19, 2023

it must be insanely difficult to improve random 4k, it never seems to improve much (and cant touch Optane)
random 4k is arguably the most important, unless you had two of these drives copying large files between them who cares about sequential?
