Micron 4TB SSD
The Micron T710 CT4000T710SSD5 hits 14,500 MB/s reads and 13,800 MB/s writes over PCIe 5.0, with 2,300K random write IOPS, making it one of the fastest 4TB drives available. Its DRAM-less TLC design runs cooler and consumes nearly 25% less power than previous Crucial Gen5 SSDs, while the included heatsink and hardware encryption add practical value. Best for hardcore gamers and creative professionals who need maximum throughput for DirectStorage game loading and large render jobs, though its portability score of 25.6/100 means it's not suited for frequent travel.

- Runs cooler than most Gen5 drives thanks to the newer controller 93rd
- Includes a heatsink and hardware encryption 90th
Contras

Performance
What surprised us most is how well this thing handles heat. Gen5 drives have a reputation for turning into tiny space heaters, but the T710's newer controller keeps temps in check even under sustained load. The 2,200K random read and 2,300K random write IOPS are best-in-class, and sequential speeds are basically at the ceiling of what PCIe 5.0 can do. DRAM-less design had us skeptical at first, but Micron clearly tuned the controller well. You won't notice the missing DRAM in real-world use.

vs Competition
Against the Samsung 9100 PRO, the T710 trades blows on raw speed but runs cooler and often costs less at the low end of its price range. The WD Black SN850X is a Gen4 drive that can't touch these sequential numbers, but it's dramatically cheaper and still plenty fast for most people. The Kingston FURY Renegade G5 is the closest Gen5 rival, but the T710's thermal behavior gives it the edge for everyday builds. If you're on a budget, the Crucial T500 gets you 80% of the experience for a lot less money.

Preço
Value & Pricing
This drive is expensive, no way around it. Affordability sits at the 12th percentile, and USD prices swing from $587 to $896 depending on where you shop. That's a $309 spread, which is frankly ridiculous. If you're buying in the US, hunt for the lower end of that range. At $587, this is a strong buy for a flagship Gen5 drive. At $896, you're paying early adopter tax and should wait for a sale.

Overview
The Crucial T710 is one of the fastest consumer SSDs you can buy right now, full stop. 14,500 MB/s reads and 13,800 MB/s writes put it at the absolute top of our database, and the 4TB capacity means you won't be juggling game installs anytime soon. The one thing to know? This is a Gen5 drive that actually runs cool enough to live in a normal PC without a liquid nitrogen budget.
Common Questions
Q: Does the T710 need a heatsink?
Yes, but the included one is fine for most builds. The drive runs cooler than other Gen5 SSDs, so even a basic motherboard heatsink gets the job done.
Q: Is DRAM-less a problem for gaming?
Not really. The controller is tuned well enough that you won't notice the missing DRAM in games or everyday creative work. Heavy sustained database workloads might feel it, but that's not what this drive is for.
Q: Will this work in a PS5?
It'll physically fit and work, but you're paying for Gen5 speed the PS5 can't use. The console caps out at Gen4 speeds, so you'd be better off with a cheaper Gen4 drive like the Crucial T500.
Who Should Skip This
If you're building a portable rig or need something for a laptop with tight thermal constraints, this isn't it. The portable score of 25.6 out of 100 tells the story. Go grab a WD Black SN850X or Crucial T500 instead. You'll save money and lose almost nothing in real-world speed.
Verdict
Buy the Crucial T710 if you want a no-compromise Gen5 drive that won't thermal throttle in a normal case. It's the best balance of speed, capacity, and heat management we've tested in this class. Just don't pay full retail. Wait for a deal under $650 and you'll be thrilled.
