Crucial T705 Gen5 2TB SSD Review – 14GB/s Becomes Just a Walk in the Park

PCMARK 10 FULL SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK

PCMark 10 Storage Benchmarks produce an overall score as a measure of drive performance. Comparing devices is as simple as comparing scores. The tests also measure and report the bandwidth and average access time performance for the drive. Each test uses traces recorded while performing real-world tasks such as booting Windows 10, starting applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, working with applications such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, and copying several large files and many small files.

The Crucial T705 sits at second just behind the Intel Optane which really is just about all we need to see.

The Quick System Drive Benchmark is a subset of the Full test and is more representative of typical daily usage to show what would be expected regarding hybrid SSD performance on a day-to-day basis.

The Crucial T705 Gen5 SSD placed No. 1 in the PCMark Quick System Test, ahead of even the Optane.

TRUE DATA TESTING

For our True Data Testing, we simply loaded 15GB video, music, photo and OS files onto the Crucial T705 Gen5 2TB SSD and copied the data to a new folder on that same disk.

We had hoped the Crucial T705 might of fared a bit better but one should keep in mind that, given exception to OS file transfer, that of video, music and photo transfer is only a second or two difference between the best SSDs.

PASSMARK PERFORMANCE TEST

We thought we might add a few extras in our report today, PassMark Performance Test DiskMark component being a nice addition. This software tests sequential reads and writes, along with IOPS and compares the result with millions of other SSDs worldwide. We might suggest being in the 99th percentile of all SSDs tested was a nice result.
