The rumors are true - Crucial is launching a sequel to its first PCIe Gen 5 SSD which launched in May of last year. The Crucial T705 touts even faster speeds, firmware optimization, and bizarrely, PS5 compatibility.
The T705 has sequential read speeds of up to 14,500MB/s and sequential writes of 12,700MB/s. These speeds are no short of ludicrous, even in the emerging Gen 5 market. Compared with last year's T700 model, the new T705 has 18% faster sequential reads and 8% faster writes. To put these numbers into context, most of the best PS5 SSDs top out at 7,000MB/s, and a basic external HDD can struggle to reach 200MB/s.
