Crucial T710 1TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD

The Crucial T710 1TB represents the next generation of PCIe Gen5 storage, combining peak speeds with markedly improved energy efficiency. It is designed for content creators, hardcore gamers, and professional users who want the highest performance alongside lower operating temperatures. With a new controller and G9-generation NAND, the T710 sets a fresh benchmark in the Gen5 drive category.

Cutting-Edge Performance

The drive delivers sequential read speeds of up to 14,900MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 13,800MB/s. In random workloads it reaches up to 2,200,000 IOPS read and up to 2,300,000 IOPS write, among the highest figures available in a consumer drive today.

Technology and Efficiency

The T710 pairs a Silicon Motion SM2508 Gen5 controller with Micron G9 (232-layer) TLC NAND running at 3,600 MT/s, alongside a DRAM cache. A major advance is its energy efficiency: the T710 draws roughly 8.25W, about a 26% saving over the T705, which results in lower temperatures and quieter operation.

Security and Additional Features

The drive supports Microsoft DirectStorage, SMART monitoring, thermal protection, power-loss immunity, and AES-256 encryption via TCG Opal 2.01. Endurance is rated up to 600TB for the 1TB model, ensuring long-term reliability under heavy workloads.
