The Crucial T500 is one of the more recent Gen4 SSDs, so it makes the most of its Gen4 bandwidth. With sequential read/write speeds of 7400/7000 Mbps, the T500 is no slouch and is more than enough for top gaming performance.
The Crucial T500 uses the Phison E25 controller and features 232-layer Micron TLC memory, and the popular M.2 form factor is highly compatible with the majority of motherboards that support an M.2 slot. With a thin single-sided design, this SSD is also a great fit for devices where space is a premium commodity such as laptops or the PlayStation 5 console.
