Essential have been one of many first firms to launch a PCIe 5.0 appropriate SSD with their T700 SSDwhich delivered customers sequential learn speeds of as much as 12 GB/s. These speeds are far in extra of what any M.2 based mostly PCIe 4.0 SSD are able to, and now it appears to be like like Essential are able to crank up their SSD speeds additional with a brand new drive known as the T705.
With their new T705 SSD mannequin, Essential plans to supply customers SSD speeds of as much as 14,500 MB/s. It will make the T705 one of many quickest PCIe 5.0 SSDs available on the market. Based mostly on leaked photos of the drive, it is going to be obtainable with or with no heatsink. There additionally seems to be a restricted version mannequin that contains a white heatsink.
At the moment, we can’t verify what SSD controller this new SSD mannequin makes use of. Essential’s T700 makes use of Phison’s E26 PCIe 5.0 SSD controller, so our guess is that this new drive makes use of Phison’s improved E26 Max14um SSD controller. This is identical SSD controller that Sabrent makes use of for his or her new Rocket 5 PCIe 5.0 SSD (see our evaluate of this drive right here).

Essential T705 SSD Specs
Based mostly on the leaked specs beneath, Essential’s T705 SSD will make use of Micron’s 232-layer TLC 3D NAND. The drive’s 2 TB mannequin will even be the quickest model of this drive with sequential learn/write speeds of 14,500/12,700 MB/s.
The 4TB mannequin will probably be barely slower than the 2TB mannequin, whereas the 1TB mannequin will probably be notably slower. Even so, all three fashions are extremely quick, and simply greatest the early 10 GB/s and 12 GB/s PCIe 5.0 SSDs that launched final 12 months.

Proper now, it’s unclear when Essential plans to launch their new T705 PCIe 5.0 SSD, or how a lot it would value. Like all PCIe 5.0 SSDs, we are able to count on this new drive to be costly.
You may be part of the dialogue on Essential’s upcoming T705 PCIe 5.0 SSD on the OC3D Boards.
