The T500 is Crucial's newest flagship PCIe 4.0 SSD and replaces the P5 Plus. It has proven to be one of the fastest SSDs on the market with sequential speeds of 7,300/6,800MB/s and random speeds of 1.15M/1.44M IOPs. There are only a few SSDs out right now that can match its speed, like the WD Black SN850X, the Samsung 990 Pro, and the SK Hynix P41 Platinum. The T500 utilizes a Phison E25 controller with 232-layer Micron TLC NAND flash memory. It's backed by a 5 year warranty.
The Crucial T500 also makes for an excellent PS5 SSD.It fulfills all of Sony's requirements, like a minimum read speed of 5,500MB/s and a PCI-Express Gen4x4 interface. The only caveat is that it doesn't include a built-in heatsink. That is easily remedied by picking up a inexpensive PS5 heatsink off Amazon.
