Crucial fulfills promise – releasing 4TB variant of T500 PCIe Gen 4 SSD
One of the best value for money SSD’s is finally available in a 4TB capacity.
The Crucial T500 M.2 SSD is a brilliant choice for desktops, laptops or even the PS5, and is one of the top picks for cached PCIe gen 4 SSDs. Although PCIe Gen 5 SSDs are now on the market, many people are staying firmly in the Gen 4 camp. Out of said Gen 4 camp, the T500 comes out on top, with the 4TB model running at 7000MB/s read and 6900MB/s write speeds. The 2TB model beats the Samsung 990 Pro 2TB in real world testing.
If you are using a mechanical Hard Drive (HDD) SSDs are the single biggest improvement to system performance on Windows 10 and 11 devices. SSDs allow the system to load information into the RAM (working memory) substantially faster than mechanical drives. That leads to faster boot and loading times for applications, as well as a more responsive system overall.
The T500 sits comfortably in Crucial’s lineup, between its predecessor, the P5 Plus and the faster Gen5 T700. The special sauce the company is using lies in the custom Phison controller, letting the drive use four separate DRAM cache channels. As a single-sided drive, it is tailor made for laptops and the PS5.
