In our read-throughput tests, the Crucial T705 with Heatsink performance climbed smoothly through the block marks until the 1MB mark where the performance drops off pretty considerably dropping from 8,531MB/s down to 6,111MB/s. However, from the 2MB block mark onwards the drive recovers well to finish the test runs at 9,476.08MB/s, some way off the official maximum of 14,500MB/s.
Even though the peak read result is nowhere near the official maximum figure, it's still good enough to place the drive in second spot on the results chart behind Corsair's MP700 PRO SE drive. The T705 is 748MB/s and 820MB/s faster than the heatsink and standard versions respectively of the previous T700.
In the write-throughput test, the drive starts to plateau out between 128KB and 256KB before accelerating to the 512KB mark where it drops from 7,127MB/s to 6,365MB/s. It recovers quickly to peak at the 8MB block size at 11,624MB/s before dropping back to finish the test run at 11,499MB/s.
The tested peak write result of 11,624MB/s is somewhat short of the official maximum of 12,700MB/s but still good enough to put the drive on the top of the results chart and is faster than both versions of the previous T700 drive.
