The T705 has sequential read speeds of up to 14,500MB/s and sequential writes of 12,700MB/s. These numbers are no short of ludicrous in the emerging Gen 5 market. Compared with last year's T705 model, the new T705 has 18% faster sequential reads and 8% faster writes.
This SSD is not suitable for all software as it requires multiple queues and threads. However, if you are looking for a top spot on our best SSD for gaming list or need to transfer large files quickly, the Crucial T705 is an excellent choice.
The Crucial T705 PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD is the world's fastest SSD.
It delivers blazing fast performance with option of heatsink version or bare SSD.
Storage has a significant impact on overall system speed, often mistakenly attributed to more familiar components like CPU or RAM.
Accuracy
It is expensive and not everyone can benefit from its performance.
Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Crucial's new T705 PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD will see global release on March 12th but can be pre-ordered now. However, this statement contradicts itself as it says both things at once and there is no mention of a specific date for the global release.

, , It achieves over 14 GB/s which is a leap over what's come before.
Performs exceptionally well in almost every way compared to last-generation drives.
Accuracy
It pushes the limits of what a PCIe 5.0 SSD can do and does it right, although that comes with a big price tag.
Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that this SSD is 'the fastest on the planet', which is not entirely accurate as there are other SSDs available that can achieve faster speeds. Secondly, while it does mention some of its downsides such as high power consumption and heat production, these are glossed over in comparison to its speed capabilities. Lastly, the article uses sensationalist language like 'obsolete' when describing this drive which is not entirely accurate.

The article discusses the Crucial T705 SSD and its performance. The author mentions that they have a personal relationship with Micron, which is one of the companies involved in NAND flash production.
It uses the latest Phison PS5026-E26 controller and 1GB of DDR4 primary cache for every one TB of capacity.
The drive is not suitable for all software as it requires multiple queues and threads.
Accuracy
The Crucial T705 is a PCIe 5.0 x4, NVMe SSD in the 2280 (22mm wide, 80mm long) form factor.
The retail box for the 1TB version costs $399.99 without heatsink, while with it, it costs $478.88.
Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that the Crucial T705 SSD clocked the competition with its awe-inspiring benchmark numbers. However, this statement is misleading as it implies that all other PCIe 5.0 SSDs are not capable of performing well in synthetic benchmarks which is not true.

The author also makes an appeal to authority by stating that Crucial warrants the T705 for five years, rates it for 600TBW (terabytes that may be written to the SSD) per 1TB of capacity and uses a white heatsink available on the 2TB capacity. The author also makes an appeal to authority by stating that Crucial is known for its TLC NAND-based SSDs these days, which are par for the course with PCIe 5.0 SSDs post some gaudy numbers in benchmarks but don't always translate to real world performance. The author also makes an appeal to authority by stating that Phison recently told us that 13th/14th-generation Intel CPUs employ PCIe 5.0 SSDs far more efficiently, which is not true as it depends on the system and CPU being used.

Bias
(95%)
While the author does not express any political or religious bias in this article, they do demonstrate a monetary bias by praising the Crucial T705 SSD for its high performance and justifying its expensive price. The author also uses language that depicts those who would choose lower-performing drives as uninformed or unsophisticated.
However, this is not a T705-specific knock – the same can be said for all NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSDs.
If you want the absolute best performance from your PCIe 5.0 system, then yes, the T705 is the best thing going.
While not totally out of line with current PCIe 5.0 SSD pricing, I fully expect most of your eyebrows to arch, as mine did, when learning of the T705’s pricing: $240 for the 1TB version, $400 for the 2TB, and $690 for 4TB. That’s without the heatsink.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article suggests that Crucial's new Gen 5 SSD will be compatible with PS5 and it won't have a catch. However, this turns out to not be true as the drive uses hybrid architecture which makes it backward compatible with Gen 4 and Gen 3 systems. Secondly, while the article mentions that most of the best PS5 SSDs top out at 7000MB/s, it fails to mention that Crucial's new T705 has sequential read speeds of up to 14,500MB/s and sequential writes of 12,700MB/s. This is a significant improvement over the previous model and makes it one of the fastest SSDs in the market. Thirdly, while Crucial claims that this new drive will be PS5 compatible, they fail to mention that its M.2 port uses PCIe Gen 4 which limits its performance on Sony's flagship console compared to a gaming PC. The article also fails to disclose any pricing information for the SSD and only mentions that prices may vary.
