Lexar NM790 1TB M.2 2280 Gen 4*4 NVMe SSD

The Lexar NM790 1TB M.2 2280 Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD is a high-performance solid-state drive engineered for professionals, gamers, content creators, and system builders seeking top-tier speed, reliability, and thermal efficiency. Designed to leverage the power of PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe technology, this SSD delivers read and write speeds that dramatically surpass those of SATA-based and earlier generation PCIe SSDs. It is tailored to meet the demands of modern computing environments, offering faster system boot-ups, ultra-quick file transfers, and reduced application loading times.

High-Speed Performance

The Lexar NM790 delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7400MB/s and write speeds up to 6500MB/s. These speeds significantly reduce latency, ensuring ultra-responsive computing experiences. This makes it highly suitable for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, 8K video editing, gaming, and other performance-heavy operations. The SSD uses the PCIe Gen 4×4 interface, which provides double the bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3 and significantly improves data throughput, especially for large files and real-time applications.

Energy Efficiency and Thermal Management

Despite its powerful speed, the NM790 is designed to consume less power than traditional DRAM-equipped SSDs. It operates using a DRAM-less architecture enabled by Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, reducing heat output and conserving energy without compromising performance. Additionally, the drive incorporates built-in thermal throttling and dynamic power management, allowing it to maintain optimal performance even under sustained workloads. These features make the NM790 an ideal solution for ultrabooks, gaming laptops, and compact desktops with limited cooling capabilities.

Advanced NAND Flash Technology

The NM790 utilizes high-quality 3D NAND flash memory, enabling greater density, reliability, and endurance over 2D planar NAND. This multilayer design ensures faster access to data, higher storage capacity in a small footprint, and extended drive lifespan. The 1TB storage capacity provides ample space for operating systems, games, professional software, and large media files, enhancing the overall user experience without the need for frequent external backups.

Enhanced System Compatibility

Built with a compact M.2 2280 form factor, the Lexar NM790 is compatible with a wide range of devices including desktops, gaming rigs, and modern laptops. Its plug-and-play installation makes it convenient for users upgrading their systems. The SSD supports the NVMe 1.4 protocol, ensuring full compatibility with the latest platforms while maintaining backward compatibility with PCIe Gen3 interfaces.

Reliability and Durability

Lexar ensures that the NM790 goes through rigorous testing under multiple stress scenarios, including performance, compatibility, and reliability checks in Lexar’s Quality Labs. The drive boasts a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1.5 million hours and includes advanced error correction technologies such as LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check), ensuring data integrity even during long-term operation. The TBW (Terabytes Written) endurance rating supports heavy daily workloads, making it reliable for sustained professional use.

Use Case Suitability

This SSD is tailored for users who require cutting-edge speed and reliability without the high power consumption of DRAM-based drives. From software developers compiling large codebases to gamers running next-gen titles and digital creators rendering massive files, the Lexar NM790 provides a balanced mix of speed, durability, and efficiency. It is also a good match for IT professionals building custom PCs or upgrading enterprise machines needing fast internal storage.
