How to install Crucial T700 CT4000T700SSD5 4 TB

• Power down your system and unplug the power cord. If you’re using a laptop, shut it down completely and remove the battery if possible, or disconnect the power adapter.
• Open the computer case or access panel and locate an available NVMe M.2 slot. If your system has multiple slots, refer to the motherboard/system manual to identify the correct slot for PCIe NVMe drives.
• Remove the mounting screw from the M.2 slot. Align the Crucial T700 M.2 module with the slot at a slight angle (usually about 30 degrees) and gently insert it until the connector seats firmly.
• Secure the drive with the mounted screw. Ensure the heatsink area (if present) has clear airflow and isn’t obstructed by cables or other components.
• Reconnect power, boot the system, and enter the BIOS/UEFI if needed to verify that the drive is detected. In your operating system, format the new SSD as needed and initialize it for use. You can then clone or move data from existing drives as desired.

Frequently asked questions
