Compatibility, installation & service
- A Gen5 SSD operates in a compatible PCIe 5.0 x4 slot; it is backward-compatible at lower host link rates, but performance is limited accordingly. Check CPU lane generation, board slot wiring, BIOS/UEFI support, M.2 2280 and boot NVMe support. The T705 may not include heatsink in this SKU; verify exact packaging.
- Consult Crucial install guide and motherboard service manual for M.2 slot thermal-pad setup, standoff position, heatsink clearance, PCIe lane sharing, and boot support. Remove both protective films where specified by the host heatsink manual, but do not peel the SSD label. Ensure airflow before sustained transfers, watch for thermal throttling, and back up before firmware update/drive replacement. Gen5 peak numbers require a Gen5-capable CPU and board slot.
- 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.
