Crucial T500 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 Internal SSD

The Crucial CT1000T500SSD8 is a 1TB solid state drive that slips into an M.2 2280 slot and taps into the full bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 x4. With sequential read speeds reaching 7300 MB/s and write speeds up to 6800 MB/s, it delivers the quick response times that modern workflows and games expect.

Gamers will notice shorter level loads and smoother asset streaming, so open-world maps and complex textures appear without delay. For content creators, the drive keeps large 4K video files and high-resolution photo libraries moving quickly through editing timelines, letting you focus on the creative process rather than wait times.

Everyday users also benefit. Operating systems boot in seconds, applications snap open, and multitasking feels effortless. The endurance rating of 600 TB written, paired with a 1.5 million-hour mean time before failure, means you can rely on the drive for years of daily use.

Installation is straightforward: slide the drive into any compatible laptop or desktop that provides an M.2 PCIe slot, secure it with a single screw, and use Crucial’s free cloning software to migrate your data. No heatsink is included, giving you the freedom to add the cooling solution that best suits your build.
