Lexar NM790 1 TB (LNM790X001T-RNNNG)

The Lexar NM790 is a lineup of internal M.2 2280 SSDs designed for gaming PCs, laptops, workstations, and PlayStation 5, delivering high-speed loading for games, applications, projects, and large files. The series operates via PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe interface and is available in 512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, and 8 TB capacities. The Lexar NM790 uses Host Memory Buffer 3.0 and Dynamic SLC Caching, which leverage system memory and caching to maintain performance without requiring a dedicated DRAM cache on the drive itself. Maximum speeds vary by capacity: the 1–4 TB versions reach up to 7400 MB/s read and 6500 MB/s write, the 512 GB model delivers up to 7200 MB/s read and 4400 MB/s write, while the 8 TB variant achieves up to 7000 MB/s read and 6200 MB/s write. For random operations, performance reaches up to 1,000,000 IOPS read and 900,000 IOPS write on the higher-capacity models, making it suitable for multitasking, gaming, and creative applications. The Lexar NM790 operates within a temperature range of 0–70 °C, withstands shock loads up to 1500G, and can serve as a primary system drive or fast storage for projects. When installing in a PS5 or compact PC, ensure adequate cooling provisions and sufficient clearance for a heatspreader.
