Playing rachet and clank with that drive right now. Its sweet. Edit: could be better if the developers actually utilized it better though. But works great non the less.
Yeah it’s overkill for a lot of people but also perfect for the right person. 👍🏻 I’m always gonna get excited when company’s push the industry forward!
TAKE CARE ........I own a 1 To Crucial T700 with heatsink and the performance is not at the expected level described in the technical documentation. I use the SSD as a "system SSD" with Win 11 24H2 and numerous softwares and games are installed. During light works the SSD temperature is contained between 60 an 65°c, once the load is higher the temperature increases up to 82°. The transfer speeds given in the technical documentation for sequential reading is 12400 Mb/s and the for sequential writting is 11800 Mb/s. My experience is that when the temperature is around 60° the speeds are close to the documentation values, during heavy load the temperature raise up to 82°c and the speeds are lower than 5 Mb/s (divided by 2.5). This look like to a temperature control loop based on the frequency..... Clearly the T700 SSD does not meet the announced values, my advice is to save money and choose another SSD, Gen 4 for exemple. Having this SSD I have to manage it and I am going to buy an active heathsink. I hope that I will be able to maintain the temeperature lower than 65°.....
My PCIe gen 3 SSD speeds: SeqQ8T1 18087/24299 MBs. SeqQ1T1 11067/11189 MBs. 4K Q1T1 531/431 MBs 4K Q32T1 573/523 MBs I use 10GB DRAM cache buffer (PrimoCache software) out of 32GB total system RAM.
No thank you. These generation 5 drives generate a lot more heat for a performance increase that can only be noticed with benchmarking tools. Hopefully, as this generation matures, random access will improve or at least the drives become more efficient. If I recall, Gen 4 had some hiccups at first.
Mm I hear you and agree to a point but if you hear what I’m saying and have a particular use case where you need to ingest and read a shit load of data or want to prepare for games supporting direct storage which WILL be a thing like with the PS5 for example then this SSD makes sense and with time the prices will come down and it will just be the norm… Thanks for your comment though, I enjoy hearing what people have to say :)

Post your crystal disk mark results on your SSD or HDD here 👍 Let's compare!
Just call it like it is: It's uselessly fast. It's bragging rights fast, but otherwise pointless.
