Ever onward the march of technology goes. Bit of a cliche, that; still, the T705 is a seriously good example of that very notion, us meagre humans pushing hardware to the absolute limit and then some. Launching mid-way through last year, at the time, Crucial announced that the T705 was the world's fastest Gen5 SSD, with blisteringly quick 14.5 GB/s sequential reads and upwards of 12.7 GB/s on the write (for higher capacity models). It was designed (apparently) for gamers and professionals alike that could harness the horrendous amount of bandwidth set forth by the plucky Gen5 drive. It even came with a sexy limited edition white variant, complete with big, chunky, blocky, non-removable heatsink if you wanted (for a premium, of course).
And, on the surface at least, it really did deliver on that promise.
