Pros & Cons
Pros
Reviewer says compiling the unreal engine from source takes about 52-53 minutes. Replaced my old pcie 3 mb with this drive. The drive has 232 layered m.
There are 2 versions of this drive with and without heat sync. The documentation makes a point that you must have a heat sync, either the one the provide or the one that came with your motherboard. I have this in a special airflow case, so i know they... Read More
The crucial t700 is the fastest pcie gen 5 nvme ssd on the market. The benchmark for the new t700 4tb gen5 drive on the left, with the xpg on the right. Another is my t500 2tb.
Cons
After reverting the psid, disabling sid blocking, etc. Didnt show in bios on inital boot on rog strix z790-e. Must restart several times for the drive to be recognized. On diskpart the drive shows up invalid.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to install and works at advertised speeds of 12400mb/s
All around great drive been using it for game storage and its super fast and a great upgrade for me

Img and appdata folder on this drive, my media scanning in plex is wicked fast!
Price
I did get this on discount which makes it an even better steal!
I had an unexpected sale and got a t500 for a cheap rate, a 1tb model.
Amazon had the 4 tb drive on sale for prime day for a few bucks over $100/tb.

Originally got one that looked opened/used by the packing having the seal broken.
Competitiveness
At the time i purchased this, it was the fastest consumer nvme drive available.
I would have been better off with a 4tb gen4 for the same price, which i do have, and tested both.
Compared to a corolla (spinning platter hdd), it's night and day.
