Sequential reads of up to 14,500 MB/s mean large files, game assets and application data come off the drive with very little waiting. Booting the system, opening heavy creative software or loading a big level all happen faster than on older storage. For anyone moving up from a SATA SSD or an earlier NVMe generation, the jump in everyday responsiveness is easy to notice, especially when you work with large libraries.
Writes of up to 13,800 MB/s help when you are copying large video files, saving project renders or installing sizeable games. Write speed is almost as high as read speed, so the drive doesn't feel lopsided when your workload switches between reading and saving data. That balance matters for video editors, photographers and anyone who regularly moves tens of gigabytes between folders or from external sources onto the system drive.
With 4000 GB of capacity, the T710 can hold your operating system, a large game library, photo archives and work projects all on one fast drive. There's no need to juggle installs or offload files to slower storage just to free up space. For many builds, a single 4TB drive replaces a mix of smaller disks, keeps everything on the fastest tier of storage and makes good use of a single M.2 slot.
The drive uses the PCI Express 5.0 interface over four lanes with the NVMe protocol, which is where its headline speeds come from. To get the full performance, install it in an M.2 slot that supports PCIe 5.0 x4. Before you buy, check your motherboard manual to confirm which M.2 slots run at Gen5 speeds, as boards often have a mix of slot types with different capabilities.
The T710 uses the standard M.2 2280 size (22 x 80 mm), the most common length for M.2 slots on desktop motherboards. It fits directly onto the board without data or power cables, which keeps the inside of your case tidy and makes installation simple. Adding storage or replacing an older system drive is quick, and the compact format leaves your 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch bays free for other drives.
This SSD is a strong fit for gamers building or upgrading a PCIe 5.0 system, content creators handling large video and photo files, and enthusiasts who want both speed and capacity from a single slot. It also makes sense for anyone planning a new high-end build who doesn't want to revisit storage soon. If your platform supports Gen5 M.2, it's a great deal on fast, spacious storage.

It uses the M.2 2280 form factor (22 x 80 mm) with a PCI Express 5.0 x4 NVMe interface. Check that your motherboard has an M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe; for full speed, the slot should support PCIe 5.0 x4.
The specifications list sequential read speeds of up to 14,500 MB/s and write speeds of up to 13,800 MB/s.
The manufacturer's specifications provided here don't list console or laptop compatibility, so check your device's M.2 slot requirements before buying.
The manufacturer doesn't list a heatsink in the specifications provided, so check whether your motherboard has its own M.2 cooler for the slot you plan to use.
The drive has a capacity of 4000 GB, which is enough for an operating system, a large game library and media files on a single drive.
