Crucial T705 (2 TB, Gen5)

A no-compromise-tier 2TB Gen5 NVMe built for high-throughput scratch and AI workloads that actually saturate Gen5 bandwidth — that's where it earns its top tier. For gaming, skip it: Gen4 is effectively indistinguishable in load times, so the Gen5 premium goes unused.

Compatibility
