Computex 2025: Crucial/Micron Unveils T710 Up to 4TB Gen5 M.2 SSD and Up to 8TB USB 3.2 Gen-2 X10 Portable SSD

At Computex 2025, Micron Technology, Inc. expanded its leadership in consumer storage by unveiling its latest performance SSDs — the Crucial T710 PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD and the Crucial X10 Portable SSD.

Forged from years of dedicated research and development, these next-gen SSDs redefine performance standards across the board by pushing the limits of speed, capacity and durability — powering your world at full speed. 

“Our fastest Gen5 drive yet, the Crucial T710 SSD turbocharges gaming and creative applications,” said Dinesh Bahal, corporate VP and GM, commercial products group, Micron. “Meanwhile, our X10 portable drive is a powerhouse, effortlessly handling massive backups, games and photo libraries — no matter where life takes you or what it throws your way. These innovations from Crucial underscore our relentless effort to exceed our customers’ storage needs.” 

Crucial T710: Fast Gen5 speed for gaming and AI 

Crucial T710 with optional integrated heatsink

Leveraging cutting-edge NVMe technology and Micron’s G9 NAND, the Crucial T710 delivers Gen5 performance for pro-level gaming, creative applications and data-intensive tasks like AI. Boasting our best Gen5 speeds to date, it features up to:

• 14,900MB/s sequential read speeds ⁽¹⁾
• 13,800MB/s sequential write speeds ⁽¹⁾
• 2.2 million random read speeds ⁽¹⁾
• 2.3 million random write speeds ⁽¹⁾

The T710 delivers up to 67% more IOs/watt than previous-gen Gen5 drives, running faster and cooler and making it for PCs, laptops and workstations. The optional integrated heatsink ensures the T710 stays cool under pressure and capacity options up to 4TB ⁽²⁾ means users have the storage space they need for their most demanding projects. 

The increasing demands of AI applications require robust hardware for optimal performance. With its increased energy efficiency and decreased latency, the Crucial T710 is for enabling real-time local data processing on AI PCs, with the speed to load a large language model from SSD to memory in under 1 second. ⁽³⁾

Crucial X10: Fast and tough portable storage to expand user digital life

Crucial’s latest portable drive, the X10, delivers read speeds of up to 2,100MB/s, ⁽⁴⁾ twice as fast as its predecessor. ⁽⁵⁾ The X10 is designed for users who need a fast, reliable and durable solution to back up and store their most important photos, games, movies, documents and more. With 4, 6 and 8TB ⁽⁶⁾ versions available, the Crucial X10 allows users to store massive amounts of data, including up to 500,000 4K photos, 114 games or 2.6 million MP3 files ⁽⁷⁾.

With its sleek, matte blue design, the X10 is for content creators, gamers, photography hobbyists and mainstream consumers who require high-speed data transfer and ample storage capacity. Its durable design is IP65 dust- and water-resistant and drop-resistant up to 9.8 feet, ⁽⁸⁾ making it a vault for user data — secure, portable and always ready.

The T710 uses Silicon Motion’s SM2508 controller, while the X10 uses the SM2322 controller.

“To meet the evolving demands of next-generation AI PCs, we’ve engineered our industry-leading SM2508 controller to deliver game-changing Gen5 performance combined with significant power savings compared to competitors,” said Nelson Duann, SVP, client and automotive storage business, Silicon Motion Technology Corp. “Our close technical collaboration with Micron to turbocharge the Crucial T710 will transform the latest notebooks with extreme Gen5 performance that meets the needs of intensive applications like AI, gaming and beyond.”

Availability:
The Crucial X10 is available for purchase through etailers, retailers and global channel partners, while T710 will be available starting in July 2025.
