Know before you buy
This drive uses the PCIe Gen 5.0 interface. While it is physically compatible with M.2 slots that support older PCIe generations, you will only achieve the maximum advertised speeds if your motherboard and CPU specifically support PCIe Gen 5.0.
Yes, due to the high performance of PCIe Gen 5 technology, this drive generates significant heat. It is highly recommended to use a motherboard with an integrated M.2 heatsink or to purchase a version of this drive that includes a dedicated heatsink to prevent thermal throttling.
You will notice significantly faster game load times and smoother asset streaming in modern, open-world titles. It is an excellent choice for gamers looking to eliminate stuttering and reduce wait times in demanding games.
Absolutely. With sequential read speeds up to 12,400 MB/s and a 2GB DRAM cache, this drive handles high-bitrate 4K and 8K video files with ease, making it ideal for professional content creation workflows.
TBW, or Terabytes Written, measures the total amount of data you can write to the drive before it reaches its expected wear limit. A rating of 1,200 TBW is very high, meaning you can write large amounts of data daily for years without worrying about drive failure.
Crucial typically provides access to Acronis True Image for Crucial, which allows you to easily clone your existing drive to your new SSD. Check the Crucial support website after purchase to download the utility.
