At present, PCIe NVMe Gen 4 solid-state drives offer the sweet spot of both price and performance, but there will always be a percentage of consumers who are absolute ballers and want the best hardware for this current generation. For this lot, we have something that will not just satisfy your requirements in storage but also in speeds. On Amazon, the 4TB version of the Crucial T705 4TB PCIe NVMe Gen 5 SSD is 45 percent off, provided you pick up the version that ships without the heatsink.
In total, you will be paying $389.99 for this drive, and before you ask, yes, it is ridiculously fast, with Crucial claiming that the T705’s speeds can reach 14,100MB/s, which is almost double that of the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol. For those wondering how beneficial the PCIe NVMe Gen 5 standard is, game textures can load in the blink of an eye, with the titles themselves opening in record time. Additionally, anyone who wants to offload CPU resources and shift them to the Crucial T705 to tackle intense workloads will upgrade to this solid-state drive.
Of course, it is important to note that these speeds come at a great cost, and that is heat generation. Laptop and motherboard manufacturers make it a habit of equipping their machines and parts with adequate passive coolers, so make sure that the Crucial T705 dissipates heat effectively, or those 14,100MB/s speeds could quickly dip down to SATA III levels. It is also worth reminding readers that there is a heatsink version available for $409.99, so if you want to get right down to business, you can secure the unit that comes pre-attached with the cooler.
