In our read-throughput tests, the Crucial T700 Heatsink performance climbed smoothly through the block marks until the 1MB mark where the performance drops off pretty considerably. From the 2MB block mark onwards the drive recovers well to finish the test runs at 8,728MB/s, some way off the official maximum of 12,400MB/s.

Even though the peak read result is nowhere near the official maximum figure, it's still good enough to place the T700 Heatsink in the top spot in our results chart, with a result that is 72.36MB/s faster than the standard T700.

In the write-throughput test, the drive starts to plateau out between 256KB and 512KB before accelerating to finish the test run at 10,785MB/s, some 1,015MB/s shy of the official maximum.

The tested peak write result of 10,785MB/s puts the drive on the top of the results chart and is 17MB/s faster than the standard T700. However, it is still 1,015MB/s off the official maximum of 11,800MB/s.
