Crucial T710 (2 TB, Gen5)

A pro-tier 2TB Gen5 NVMe and T705 successor, rated around 14,900 MB/s read with class-leading power efficiency in a single-sided, laptop-friendly design — near the top of the Gen5 stack on both speed and efficiency. The caution is timing: marketplace listings ran well above MSRP during the shortage, so immediate buys at street price pay a premium.
