1. Gaming speed claims based on Micron test results measuring Forspoken Benchmark, Call of Duty® and Valorant® bootup times of the Crucial T500 and other Gen4 SSDs. Your performance may vary.
2. Typical I/O performance as measured using CrystalDiskMark® with default settings for NVMe SSDs and write cache enabled. Windows 11 Core isolation disabled for performance measurement. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results.
3. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.
4. Power-to-performance comparison measured internally between Crucial P5 Plus and T500 PCIe® 4.0 NVMe SSDs. Your performance may vary.
5. Calculated by comparing T500’s sequential reads of 7,400MB/s to the previous generation’s (P5 Plus) speeds of 6,600MB/s, or to the SATA’s (MX500) speed of 560MB/s. Actual performance may vary.
6. Compared to Gen4 SSD performance without DirectStorage, based on Micron test results with supported GPU that uses GPU decompression.
7. Faster performance with content creation apps based on internal test results measuring SPECwpc benchmark scores comparing the Crucial T500 to other Gen4 SSDs. Your performance may vary.
8. Warranty valid for five years from the original date of purchase or before writing the maximum total bytes written (TBW) as published in the product datasheet and as measured in the product’s SMART data, whichever comes first
9. See https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5-install-m2-ssd/ for specs and installation instructions.
