Overview

The T500 is Crucial's high-end PCIe 4.0 drive, and it is one of the best balanced drives on the market. 7,400 MB/s reads and 7,000 MB/s writes put it at the top of the PCIe 4.0 class. It uses Micron's own 232-layer NAND and has a DRAM cache. Power efficiency is excellent for laptops. If you want near-flagship performance without PCIe 5.0 prices, this is a strong option.
