Crucial T705 (1 TB, Gen5)
A pro-tier 1TB Gen5 NVMe positioned as the entry capacity point into Gen5, the T705 delivers genuine Gen5 throughput at the smaller capacity. With no listed drawbacks, the main consideration is simply whether 1TB is enough headroom for your workload before stepping up to 2TB. It's a strong pick for builders who want Gen5 speed without paying for capacity they won't use.
