At Computex 2025, Micron's Crucial brand announced the launch of the Crucial T5 SSD, designed with PCIe Gen710 specifications, and the new Crucial X10 external SSD.
The Crucial T710 is advertised as being specifically designed for gaming and AI applications. It utilizes a PCIe Gen5 interface, Micron G9 NAND storage, and a Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, delivering sequential read speeds of up to 14900MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 13800MB/s. It also boasts random read and write speeds of up to 220 million IOPS and 230 million IOPS, respectively.
Compared to the previous generation of SSD products that also use the PCIe Gen5 connection interface, the Crucial T710 has a 67% increase in IOPS per watt efficiency and can further reduce operating temperatures. It also offers a version with an integrated heat sink to maintain low temperatures under high loads, and the storage capacity can reach up to 4TB.
The new Crucial X10 external SSD, launched simultaneously, uses Silicon Motion's SM2322 controller and boasts a read speed of up to 2100MB/s, approximately double the speed of its predecessor. This allows users to quickly back up data such as photos, games, videos, and documents. Available in 2TB, 4TB, and 6TB capacity options, it can store up to 8 50K photos, 4 games, or 114 million MP260 music files.
The Crucial X10 features a matte blue exterior and a rugged design that meets IP65 dust and water resistance, and can withstand vertical drops of up to 9.8 feet (about 3 meters).
Currently, the Crucial T710 will be officially launched in July, while the Crucial X7 is already available for sale in the market.
