The Crucial T705 is the refreshed flagship Gen5 NVMe, pushing sequential speeds beyond the T700 to around 14,500 MB/s. It targets the same creator and enthusiast audience that needs maximum throughput on a Gen5 platform, and like all Gen5 drives it requires robust cooling. The table ranks in-stock T705 listings by live price per terabyte.
The T705 is faster than the T700 on paper and improves sustained performance, but the two serve the same niche: heavy sequential workloads on a Gen5 system. For most users the real-world difference between them, and versus a good Gen4 drive in gaming, is small. Choose the T705 if you want the fastest current Gen5 numbers and can cool it properly; otherwise a Gen4 drive is better value.
Around 14,500 MB/s sequential read on a PCIe Gen5 slot, faster than the T700. The gain is felt in large sequential transfers rather than gaming.
The T705 is the faster, newer flagship; the T700 is often cheaper for similar real-world results. Both need strong cooling and suit heavy sequential workloads more than gaming.
For creators who need maximum Gen5 throughput and can cool it, yes. For gaming and everyday use, a Gen4 drive offers better value and lower heat.
