Crucial Launches Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 Memory and T705 M.2 Gen 5 SSD

[btarunr]

Micron Technology, Inc., today announced two new Crucial Pro Series products with the addition of overclocking-capable memory and the world's fastest Gen 5 SSD. The Crucial DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking Edition modules are available in 16 GB densities up to DDR5-6000 to deliver higher performance, lower latencies and better bandwidth to fuel gaming wins and reduce performance bottlenecks. These powerful DDR5 overclocking DRAM modules are compatible with the latest DDR5 Intel and AMD CPUs and support both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO specifications on every module, eliminating compatibility hassles. Built with leading-edge Micron 232-layer TLC NAND, the Crucial T705 SSD unleashes the full potential of Gen 5 performance.

Lightning-fast sequential reads and writes up to 14,500 MB/s and 12,700 MB/s (up to 1,550K/1,800K IOPS random reads and writes) respectively, enable faster gaming, video editing, 3D rendering and heavy workload AI application processing. With DDR5 Pro Overclocking DRAM and the T705 SSD, enthusiasts, gamers and professionals can harness the speed, bandwidth and performance they need for AI-ready PC builds capable of processing, rendering and storing large volumes of AI generated content.



"Today's high-end PCs require exceptional memory and storage solutions to meet the growing demands of applications and workloads. The class-leading Crucial T705 Gen 5 SSD and high-performance Crucial DDR5 Pro Overclocking DRAM offerings continue our legacy of designing products specifically for gamers, creators and other performance users that allow them to fully leverage the capabilities provided by the latest generation of CPU platforms," said Jonathan Weech, senior director of product marketing for Micron's Commercial Products Group.

Overclocking unlocked!
The Crucial DDR5 Pro Memory: Overclocking Edition delivers:

• 36-38-38-80 extended timings for 25% lower latency than Crucial DDR5 Pro Memory Plug and Play Edition
• Elegant, origami-inspired aluminium heat spreader to complement a variety of gaming rigs
• Higher frame rates for serious 1080p and 1440p resolution gaming on memory-intensive titles like Rainbow Six Siege, Forza Horizon 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered or Forespoken
• Universal compatibility with DDR5-based Intel Core 12th to 14th Gen desktop CPUs and AMD Ryzen 7000 to 8000G Series desktop CPUs

Additionally, Crucial has fine-tuned all XMP 3.0 and EXPO memory profiles to maximize CPU compatibility without compromising overclocking stability and performance. Activating one of these pre-tuned profiles is necessary to overclocking the CPU and memory and is the easiest way to achieve maximum performance.

Crucial's fastest Gen 5 SSD just got faster.
The T705 SSD is available in capacities up to 4 TB and features a premium black aluminium and copper heatsink that dissipates heat without noisy fans or liquid cooling, takes full advantage of Microsoft DirectStorage and is backward compatible with Gen 3 and Gen 4 motherboards. A non-heatsink version is also available for use with a motherboard heatsink. For a limited time while global supplies last, a 2 TB Crucial T705 Gen 5 SSD with an exclusive white heatsink is also available and was meticulously designed to meet the aesthetic preferences of enthusiasts and gamers, harmonizing perfectly with white motherboards and PC components.

The Crucial T705 Gen 5 SSD also provides:

• Faster gameplay and reduced game load times than Gen 4 SSDs with Microsoft DirectStorage
• Compatibility with Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen CPUs and AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs

The Crucial DDR5 Pro Overclocking DRAM will be available in 16 GB densities on February 27, 2024, and 24 GB densities later in 2024. All Crucial Pro memory modules have a limited lifetime warranty. Crucial T705 SSDs, including the limited-edition 2 TB white heatsink version, are available to pre-order now on this page and will be available on March 12, 2024 through select e-tailers, retailers and global channel partners. The T705 SSDs have a 5-year warranty.

Timings are far too loose for DDR5-6000 RAM, if its JEDEC spec 6000(as their specs dont make JEDEC speed clear unlike Kingston and Corsair) then it should be a decent RAM for plug and play systems. Their website also lists Pro Overclocking RAM series which far too resctricted in terms of capacity and quite slow timings for "pro overclocking" RAM.

What did you expect? Crucial selling Hynix A-die memory kits?
They are stuck with Micron chips and those aren't really that great for high clocks anyway. That "pro overclocking" most likely refers to an unlocked PMIC which should allow high voltage mode in case you want to pump more than 1.45V into those chips. Something the regular JEDEC sticks from Crucial don't allow.

The original JEDEC timings at DDR5-6000 was 42-42-42, so that's not it. Not sure if JEDEC has added better timings since then.

The SSD pricing is just insane.

I'm pretty sure they didn't, otherwise we would have multiple different speed bins for JEDEC sticks by now. Something most server and memory manufacturers would absolutely loathe.

As per that old article though, DDR5 has three different JEDEC timings and 42-42-42 is the best one at DDR5 6000.

Yep, and the memory and server manufacturers use the fastest one as baseline for DDR5 DIMMs. That is pretty much the point of the JEDEC consortium.

Adding another faster speed bin at a later would mess up things quite a bit, since most server hardware is typically build to the chosen spec. Funnily enough, I've never noticed any of the slower JEDEC timings on any memory kit on sale. Unless it's for something very exotic like double-stacked (3DS) RDIMM, those slower JEDEC timings are not really common on standard modules. Maybe they are more a thing on proprietary modules, but I wouldn't know since I don't buy mainframes.

Holy S#$@ what are they smoking? You can get the 2Tb MP700 for 1/2 that price. Then it comes with no heatsink either. Makes me wonder how much it costs with active cooling.

Seems like the US site has pricing now too...

In my experience, the primary timings might be ok on XMP, but usually the secondaries and terteries are very loose. Probably to play it safe on compatibility.

Funniest thing about all of this is that Crucial made a big deal out of killing their Ballistix brand some years ago and basically told the public that they will re-focus on memory for businesses and servers. Now they try to sell us "pro" and "pro overclocking" kits that use Micron DDR5 chips that had quite the problems in even reaching speeds above DDR5-5200.

Waiting for ddr5-6400 @ jedec voltages.

The SSD well too bad 4TB prices are still too expensive................

 

[trsttte]

If it's not ECC it shouldn't have Pro in the name, fucking marketing departments and their bullshit

Seems like the US site has pricing now too...

Tom's hardware just reviewed the T705 2TB. Fast yes, power hungry yes, hot yes, pricey yes, worth it, hell no!

These are not at JEDEC Voltages though...
Timings are clearly not JEDEC either...
