Specifications & Features

The Crucial T500 is tailored for individuals requiring advanced storage solutions, suitable for a range of devices including PC and PlayStation 5 (only with heatsink), laptops (exclusive non-heatsink model), as well as desktops and workstations (available in both configurations). The Crucial T500 Gen4 SSD, a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, caters to gaming, photo and video editing, and intensive applications.

It also showcases an enhanced performance-to-power ratio. Its capabilities extend to accelerating game load times by up to 16% and optimizing texture rendering with Microsoft® DirectStorage. Furthermore, the SSD ensures improved performance in content creation tools, handling demanding tasks, and quickening photo or video rendering processes. The Crucial T500 is offered with an optional integrated heatsink.
