Crucial’s blazing-fast 11,700MB/s T700 1TB Gen5 SSD hits one of its best prices at $142

Reg. $180/$142

For folks looking to upgrade their battlestation PC with some serious speed, Amazon is now offering the Crucial T700 1TB Gen5 NVMe M.2 Solid-State Drive for $141.99 shipped. This model launched last summer at $180 and is now at the lowest price we can find. We did see a very brief offer at $135 back in late June, but today’s offer is the lowest we have tracked otherwise. The same T700 drive with the integrated heatsink sells for $200 right now, just for comparison’s sake. If you’re looking to help future proof your setup or get up into the 11,000MB/s or more speed range, today’s deal is worth a closer look. More details below. 

The Crucial T700 1TB SSD clocks in with some serious speed ratings at up to 11,700MB/s (or 12,400MB/s on the 2TB variants) with Gen5 architecture and the standard 2280 M.2 form-factor. It also supports Microsoft DirectStorage – “elevate gaming with up to 60% faster texture renders8 and reduced load times, render photos or UHD/8K+ videos and run heavy workloads with up to 99% less CPU utilization.” 

Then check out the more modest new Samsung 990 EVO internal SSD that launched last month as mid-tier Gen5 solutions with much lower price tags than the T700 above. While not the lowest we have tracked since release, you can score some solid price drops on the new 990 EVO models starting from $110 shipped on Amazon right now.

Get sequential reads/writes of up to 11,700/9500MB/s and random read/writes of up to 1,500K IOPS for blazing performance.
