The Lexar NM790 1TB is a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with speeds up to 7,400 MB/s read and 6,500 MB/s write, suited to gamers and creators seeking fast internal storage for compatible PCs or a PS5.
Recommended For
- PC gamers expanding a Gen4 desktop or laptop drive for a Windows library: reviews found strong everyday performance, and game loading typically relies more on reads than prolonged writes.
- Laptop owners upgrading a compatible M.2 2280 slot who value a single-sided drive and lower power use for mobile storage; check the laptop’s interface and clearance before buying.
- PS5 owners adding game storage who are comfortable fitting a separate, PS5-compatible heatsink; the drive meets the read-speed recommendation, but this version does not include a heatsink.
- Creators using a PC for routine project work, app launches, and moderate file transfers who want fast Gen4 storage; reviews report good real-world performance, though this is not the best fit for constant very-large writes.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- Add storage to a PS5 for more installed games: the NM790 is listed as PS5-compatible, and testing of the heatsink-equipped version found most games ran normally. This bare-drive model does not include a heatsink, so use a compatible PS5-fit heatsink; demanding games may occasionally stutter.
- Install it in a PCIe 4.0 desktop as a game-library drive: games and large files can be transferred quickly, while typical game loading should feel responsive without relying on the advertised peak speeds.
- Upgrade a compatible laptop’s M.2 storage for everyday work, apps, and games: its single-sided design can suit laptops with limited M.2 clearance, and reviewers describe everyday performance as smooth. Confirm the laptop supports an M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe drive.
- Use it as a Windows boot and application drive in a desktop or laptop: it can handle ordinary startup and daily computing smoothly, though its DRAM-less design is less suited to workloads dominated by random writes.
- Keep active creative projects and source files on a PC workstation: file transfers and sequential reads and writes tested well, making it practical for moving media and project assets. For very large, continuous writes, performance can vary as the drive fills and its cache is used.
