Crucial T700 2TB SSD Review

We took note of the drive’s temperature during some of our benchmarking runs. During our benchmarking runs, the hottest the drive got was 47° C during CrystalDiskMark 8 default test runs. For the non-4 K tests the drive averaged 39.72° C while for the 4K-based tests, the average was 32.72° C.

Keeping the drive cool in our test rig (Gigabyt X670E AORUS Xtreme motherboard) is a serious chunk of machined aluminium (weighing in at 150g) as a heatsink for the Gen5 slot. Not only that, there are two thermal pads that the drive is sandwiched between for maximum heat displacement.
