‘The world’s fastest SSD’ Micron Crucial T705 M.2 NVMe
The maximum read speed is a whopping 14,500MB/s
It is twice as fast as the 4th generation product and a whopping 25 times faster than the SATA model.
‘Future technologies’, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning, which have become an ongoing trend, are easily surpassing the threshold that was thought to be a limit and are evolving to a level beyond what humans can imagine.
The speed is beyond imagination, and ChatGPT, which is a hot topic these days, came out with version 1, followed by version 2, then 3.5, and finally version 4, a paid version. This means that you feel confident enough to accept money, and user satisfaction is also very high.
Everyone was surprised that the update cycle was very short, and the perceived performance difference between versions was huge, making people already look forward to the next version.
These days, when we make a fuss about the arrival of a new wave following the emergence of the Internet, smartphones, and YouTube, the development of AI technology ultimately accelerates the speed of computing performance development. This is because computing is the foundation and soil of AI technology. It’s not true that the sooner the better, but it’s especially relevant these days.
Among them, memory and storage are the most important hardware in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning, which recently reign as representative keywords.
Both must be fast and have ample capacity at the same time. And Micron is quickly reflecting the times in its products and launching new products. Faster speed, more capacity, and stability are as strict as the phrase ‘global standard’ suggests.
Micron, a leading U.S. semiconductor company that once designed semiconductors like Intel, is today expanding its status to general users through memory and storage.
In the past, the domestic storage market was reminiscent of a competition between various brands. Various brands such as Seagate, Western Digital, and Hitachi, which acquired Samsung, continued the battle for market share. In that respect, it was not that long ago compared to the company’s history that Micron began to become known in the Korean market in earnest.
Nevertheless, the reason Micron has been attracting so much attention recently is not unrelated to its lightning-quick speed in responding to the market. The release cycle of new products is fast, and promotions are very aggressive. It is dynamic enough to make you feel the atmosphere of the early storage market when it was full of energy.
◆ Micron Crucial T705 M.2 NVMe (1TB·2TB·4TB)
Specification: NVMe M.2 (2280) PCI-e 5.0×4 (128GT/s)
NAND: 232-layer 3D NAND
Capacity: 1TB, 2TB, 4TB
Speed: Read/Write (based on 2TB) – 14,500/12,700 MB/s
Lifespan (TBW/MTBF): 2,400TB / 1.5 million hours / 5-year warranty
Inquiry: Daewon CTS
The modifier that defines the newly released Micron Crucial T705 M.2 NVMe is very simple and clear. It is the ‘world’s fastest SSD’. Of course, there is a possibility that this qualifier will soon be replaced by other competitors or other new products, but the fact that it occupied the world’s fastest storage at least at one time has significant technical implications.
In a PCIe 5.0, NVMe M.2 interface environment, the maximum read speed is a whopping 14,500MB/s, exceeding 14GB. This is truly unprecedented speed. It is twice as fast as our 4th generation product and a whopping 25 times faster than the SATA model. The write speed also reaches 12,700MB/s.
It provides a variety of advanced features to ensure safety in accordance with the incredibly fast speed. By supporting Microsoft DirectStorage, the loading speed of AAA games is up to 15% faster than the 4th generation, and ultra-high definition video rendering of UHD/8K+ is also faster.
It is fully compatible with the latest Intel 13th and 14th generation processors and AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, and has backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0 and 4.0, the storage standards of older models, so it can be seamlessly mixed with existing products in a variety of platform environments. .
◆ Test environment
① CPU – Intel 14th generation Core i9-14900F Coit
② M/B – ASRock Z790 Steel Legend WiFi D5 Daewon CTS
③ RAM – Micron Crucial DDR5-5600 16GB x 2ea Daewon CTS
④ SSD – Micron Crucial P5 2TB Daewon CTS
⑤ VGA – Emtech Radeon RX 7900GRE, RTX 3070FE
⑥ Cooler – Dark Flash Ellsworth D21
⑦ Power – Max Elite Maxwell Duke 1000W
⑧ OS – Windows 11 Pro 22H2
To clearly express the strengths of Micron Crucial T705 M.2 NVMe, speed cannot be left out from start to finish. Places that require this level of performance are more likely to be professional offices rather than homes. When working on large-scale office designs, using software, or multitasking, loading times are reduced by more than 40% compared to the market average product.
High-quality AI support, which is the core of these days, is also designed from the planning stage to meet the specifications required by AI applications, supporting speeds up to 55% faster than the 4th generation.
The provided capacity is provided in 1T, 2T, and 4T models, which are very similar to the previous model, and according to the published specifications, the 2TB model is the fastest, but the difference is not significant. As this is a new 5th generation model, it is still in the verification stage, so if you have any doubts about its stability, there is no need to worry as it comes with a 5-year warranty.
However, the 5-year free support does not apply to direct purchase or parallel import models, so it is necessary to check whether the product is purchased through Daewon CTS, the official distributor. Genuine products come with a sticker indicating the authenticity, so be sure to attach it.
** Editor’s note
While innovation in the storage market has slowed, Micron is increasing its market share through aggressive moves in the domestic market. Although the size of the Korean market is small, technological innovations, including AI, occur quickly, so there are many early adopters and it seems to have been noted that there is no shortage of test markets.
The fiercer the competition, the better it is for consumers. The key is price, but Micron is still setting a strategically attractive price range in the Korean market compared to its competitors, so it is necessary to check if storage replacement is necessary.
Although it has low domestic recognition, it is a leading semiconductor company in the United States that is celebrating its 45th anniversary, and is a Nasdaq-listed company. The quality of the product has already been verified a long time ago. The level of technological prowess is too high to judge whether it is better or worse, and as the United States has predicted superiority in the competition for semiconductor hegemony, it is worth noting that Micron is actually at the core.
Ultimately, storage is a battle of trust, and Micron is infinitely trustworthy in that regard!
