Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen platform that contains the Ryzen 9 7950X, 16-core processor, Gigabyte B650E Master motherboard, Crucial Pro OC 64GB DDR5-6000 CL36 memory kit, and Acer Predator GM7000 2TB M.2 SSD with installed Win11 Pro x64. All tests were performed on the Crucial T705 2TB SSD.
Let’s begin as usual with the ATTO Disk Benchmark.
Results in ATTO benchmarks are always slightly lower than expected. The 13.49GB/s maximum read and 11.92GB/s maximum write are still the highest results we saw in our redaction.
CrystalDiskMark shows us results that are very close to the maximum declared bandwidth. This is exactly what we counted to see. IOPS are also very high and slightly better than the T700 SSD.
Low queue random 4K read could be better, but the test motherboard may slightly limit it. Intel motherboards typically show a higher bandwidth in this specific test.
The results in PCMark 10 are significantly better than those of the T700 SSD, which was the fastest SSD we reviewed until the T705 arrived. Only the Data Drive Benchmark shows around 150MB/s higher bandwidth than the T700 SSD.
The 3DMark Storage Benchmark shows scores very close to the T700, so there is no performance gain here.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a rather old benchmark but is still popular. This benchmark usually shows lower results than the ATTO or the CrystalDiskMark. It doesn’t change the fact that the results are pretty high.
In the end, the AIDA64 Disk Benchmark results in random read and write operations.
These extended tests are suitable for checking for thermal throttling. Both random bandwidth tests show nearly constant results without visible thermal throttling or performance drops. Everything is perfect.
The T705 has some improvements, which we wouldn’t know about without extended high-load tests. The SSD is not only faster than the T700, but in our tests, it runs cooler and doesn’t show thermal throttling. The T705 is a perfect example of how a great product can be made even better.
