Crucial T500 2TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD (CT2000T500SSD8) – Up to 7,400MB/s, 1,200 TBW

2TB of near-maximum Gen4 speed for big game libraries and creative projects.

The Crucial T500 2TB is a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD built on Micron 232-layer TLC NAND. Reading at up to 7,400MB/s and writing at up to 7,000MB/s, with a 1,200 TBW endurance rating, it gives gamers and creators fast loading, quick exports and plenty of space on one drive.

Speed and Space for Growing Game Libraries and Projects

As games pass 100GB and video projects grow into hundreds of gigabytes, a 1TB drive fills quickly. Moving older projects or games to slower storage means waiting whenever you need them again.

The T500 2TB keeps more of your work and play on fast Gen4 storage. Its near-7,000MB/s writes also mean large installs and exports finish quickly, not just reads.

Near-Maximum Gen4 Performance

Up to 7,400MB/s reads and 7,000MB/s writes, plus up to 1.18M random read IOPS, deliver quick game loads, fast DirectStorage streaming and smooth 4K editing.

Endurance for Daily Heavy Use

With 1,200 TBW and 1.5 million hours MTTF, the T500 2TB handles years of large daily writes. Crucial Storage Executive tracks health and firmware.
