Crucial 1 TB T500 PRO GEN 4 UPTO 7300 MB/s NVMe M.2-‎CT1000T500SSD8

1

Interface / Form Factor

NVMe (PCIe Gen4 ×4), M.2 2280.

2

Capacity

1 TB (≈ 1000 gigabytes usable)

3

Sequential Read Speed

4

Sequential Write Speed

Up to ~ 6800 MB/s

5

Random I/O Performance

Random read IOPS up to ~ 1,150,000, random write IOPS up to ~ 1,440,000 (at high queue depths)

6

Endurance (TBW)

600 TBW (Total Bytes Written) for the 1 TB variant

7

Warranty

5‑year limited warranty or until the TBW limit is reached, whichever comes first

8

NAND Type

TLC (Triple‑Level Cell) NAND flash; Micron’s 232‑layer 3D TLC NAND.

9

Controller & Cache Buffer

Phison PS5025‑E26 (E26) controller; includes 1 GB LPDDR4 DRAM cache buffer.

10

MTBF / Reliability

MTBF ~ 1.5 million hours.

11

Power Efficiency

Designed to give good performance to power ratio; less power draw compared to older Gen4 drives.

12

Backward Compatibility

Works in PCIe Gen3 / Gen4 slots, though at reduced speeds if in Gen3.

13

Use Case / Ideal For

Great for gaming, fast boot drives, large file transfers, content creation, and workloads that demand fast sequential and random access.

14

Limitations / Considerations

Writes beyond SLC / cache can lead to throttling; sustained large writes may drop performance significantly. Also heats up under load; may require good airflow or heatsink in some systems.

15

Physical / Other Specs

• Size: M.2‑2280 standard
• Shock resistance and internal thermal sensors etc.
• Encryption: some versions support encryption features, depending on firmware / model.
