Crucial T705 2TB

Cat. no. storage-crucial-t705-2tb

Curator note

A 2 TB Gen5 drive for faster model loads from a Gen5 M.2 slot. A model loads once per session, so the extra speed only shortens that wait, and 2 TB holds a handful of large models; the costlier 4 TB drives suit a bigger library. This is the non-heatsink version: Crucial says it must be installed under a motherboard or other heatsink for full performance, so check the board has one over a Gen5 slot. Gen5 heat matters more in a closed case with hot GPUs nearby.
