Gen5 performance for systems with their own M.2 heatsink
The Crucial T705 4TB without heatsink is the low-profile variant for compatible motherboards or alternate cooling solutions. Crucial requires a suitable heatsink for optimal performance and instructs users not to remove the copper-clad label when using an in-motherboard heatsink.
Exact 4TB performance
This capacity is rated at 14,100MB/s read and 12,600MB/s write rather than the higher 2TB series maximum.
High random throughput
The 4TB profile reaches up to 1,500K random-read and 1,800K random-write IOPS.
Micron 232-layer TLC NAND
The T705 uses Micron TLC NAND engineered for Crucial's Gen5 performance range.
DirectStorage support
Microsoft DirectStorage is supported when the rest of the system and software meet its requirements.
Backward-compatible interface
The drive can operate in compatible PCIe Gen4 and Gen3 systems at the lower interface speed.
Use a compatible heatsink
This SKU has no factory heatsink and must use a compatible motherboard or alternate heatsink for optimal performance.
Who is the Crucial T705 4TB without heatsink best for?
A strong choice for
- High-end compatible PCIe Gen5 desktops
- Large game libraries and DirectStorage-capable systems
- Video editing and 3D rendering
- Heavy local creative workloads
- Motherboards with an integrated M.2 heatsink
Consider another model if you need
- Your system lacks an M.2 PCIe NVMe slot
- Your workload does not benefit from Gen5 performance
- You do not have a compatible heatsink
- You need lower power or heat output
