| Interface / lane width | PCIe 5.0 x4. |
| Protocol | NVMe 2.0. |
| Rated performance / endurance | Sequential up to 12,400 MB/s read and 11,800 MB/s write; 1,200 TBW endurance for 2 TB. |
| Model era | 2023 product generation; check manufacturer lifecycle/support notice. |
| Heatsink / revision | Bare-module SKU; T700 heatsink edition has a distinct MPN. Crucial specifies use of a heatsink for sustained Gen5 operation; the board heatsink must fit and contact properly. |
Compatibility, installation & service
- Requires PCIe 5.0 x4 to reach the rated link; Gen4 operation is slower. M.2 2280 socket must be NVMe capable, and boot support is provided by host firmware. Confirm exact CT2000T700SSD3 versus heatsink package code, motherboard firmware and CPU lane layout.
- Install per Crucial and motherboard instructions: use only the intended thermal pad, remove its protective liner, keep the SSD label on, secure at the 2280 standoff, and verify cover clearance. Sustained Gen5 writes need adequate cooling; monitor temperature and throttling. Check boot UEFI support and any lane sharing; create a backup and record SMART/firmware before maintenance.
- Do not hot-plug an M.2 module unless the server/platform manual explicitly documents hot-plug support. Shut down cleanly, disconnect standby power when instructed, and use electrostatic-discharge precautions during handling.
- Before replacing a boot drive, verify a recoverable backup, OS recovery media, encryption keys, firmware settings and the target system’s boot mode; physical fit does not establish compatibility.
