Great Budget SSD with Effective Heatsin

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023

Style: NM790 w/ HeatsinkPattern: 2280Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I purchased the Lexar NM790 SSD with Heatsink 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 2280 for my budget PC build, and I'm quite satisfied with its performance.

The inclusion of the heatsink is a nice touch, as it helps keep the drive cool during heavy usage, ensuring consistent performance. The product's build quality appears to be decent, which is essential for long-term durability.

The SSD has worked flawlessly for my needs, and I've experienced noticeable improvements in load times and overall system responsiveness. It offers good value for the price, making it an excellent choice for those on a budget.

I'm pleased with my purchase and would definitely consider buying another Lexar NM790 SSD in the future.

Great amount of storage for an excellent price.

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023

Style: NM790Pattern: 2280Capacity: 4TBVerified Purchase

I've been looking at getting a larger NVMe SSD for a year or so now but prices have largely remained steady up until Fall off this year when they really started to get more affordable.

This is replacing an older Gen 3 MP510 960GB. I was getting rather tired of having to pick and choose what I wanted installed on the drive.

I picked the Lexar after reading numerous reviews and seeing nothing but positives.

It's TLC based drive unlike most of the others around this price point for 4TB models. QLC drives have their own issues, the most concerning being longevity, as their NAND is much more easily worn out and typically do have any DRAM so in heavy or intense workloads they can drop to speeds like that of normal mechanical hard drive.

It's got a rather high endurance rating, over twice the 1400 TBW of the drive out replaced. This was another reason for getting this as I don't have to worry about the drive failing due to exhausting the endurance. I'm sure I'll be looking gone before the drive would fail.

One incredible thing is that Lexar managed to get all 4TB on a single side of the NVMe. Most drives they're on both sides making it harder to cool.

My only con is that it does run quite warm. It does sit under my GPU and in general, idling on the desktop it can sit in the 50's. If your motherboard doesn't have a heatsink, you'll want to pick one up. I can't imagine how much worse it could be if I didn't have 2 140mm intakes on the side above the GPU blowing air down onto the board. I did buy a heatsink but have not yet installed it so I'll likely be looking at around a drop off 10-15C or more. If the extra $15-20 for the heatsink model didn't bother you, go that route.

I will say I am hampering the drive as the m.2 slot it occupied is only a PCIE Gen 3 so it won't ever hit it's true speeds, but when I tested it, it was hitting the limit of the maximum bandwidth. I was getting identical read and write speeds capping out around 3500MB/s, a little less than half what the drive is capable of.

If you're looking for speed, endurance, size options and a good price, the Lexar is the way to go. They've been in the storage game for a long time and have always been reliable for flash based storage

Great for a Second Drive

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2023

Style: NM790 w/ HeatsinkPattern: 2280Capacity: 4TBVerified Purchase

I'm using this for a data drive in a newly purchased computer. Access to the drive is very fast. The drive come unformatted, so, if using Windows, you must access the drive and format it through the Device Manager. It's an easy process (look it up on the web, if you don't know how) and everything works great. Very dependable. Since I've had this less than a month, I cannot say anything about its longevity, but I have used Lexar memory cards with no failures. I purchased this with the heat sink for added protection, although the other drive in the computer does not have one. Extra protection is always a better choice. I am pleased with the drive and am sure I will get many years of flawless performance.

Solid SSD, works great with USB 4 enclosure

Getting great speeds in use with Satechi's USB 4 enclosure. WIsh I would have discovered this combo earlier so I wouldn't spend so much time wasting money on external SSDs that run slower.

Very good purchase, very good price, capacity and speed. The only thing I noticed is that it is somewhat hot at full load, so keep that in mind when purchasing it, if you don't have a motherboard with aluminum heatsinks for NVMe it is better not to buy it since at full load it goes up to 66 degrees. I would not recommend it for a laptop or console. But yes for a desktop computer with good ventilation.

Blazing fast, amazing storage.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024

Style: NM790Pattern: 2280Capacity: 4TBVerified Purchase

As advertised, this drive is blazing fast. I upgraded from a Gen 3 drive, and doubled the speed. When installing windows, it went by REALLY quick.

Where you will see the biggest improvements are the random 4k. At 30 MB/s on the old drive, I could tell it took a while to load a few things, but with this drive picking up at almost 64 MB/s, I could really tell everything was loading faster, working smoother, etc.

I got the 4TB model because in the past, I have filled 2TB drives without even looking just installing games that I play, or want to play. Never run out of space on a 4TB.

Insanely fast on the cheap

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024

Style: NM790Pattern: 2280Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I read that this drive was rated an extremely fast and reliable SSD. So far, it has lived up to everything I've heard about it.

It's easily 3-4 times faster than the drive mine replaced, and twice as big. If you're looking for a single sided 4tb, this is definitely one to consider. The only thing that it didn't include was a disk cloning software. In hindsight, (and in my case) even though the WD SN850X was a little more money, it comes with Acronis disk copy. This drive easily compares to it performance wise. But I ended up trying a few different disk cloning programs and ended up buying Acronis anyway at fifty bucks, which ended up making it more expensive overall. However, if you already have a cloning solution, or are just adding this as a second drive, or want to start over with a fresh OS installation, this is hands down the SSD you want.

We shall see how it holds up long term, but the initial performance figures are significantly impressive for the price. I highly recommend this one!

... for me this is a really fast NVMe for my system. I wish they came out with them sooner! I mean... look at the specs... All I'll say without saying to much is, that this is a wonderful M.2 memory stick. But checkout & read it's specs...I highly recommend it.!! BUT SAVE SOME FOR ME!!! lol

I am using them with a Lumix S5IIx recording directly from the camera in 5.9K open gate Pro res. I've recorded a number of hours and have not had an issue with them. I can't compare them to the other choices but they meet my needs.
