What You're Getting

The Lexar NM790 is a PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD built for high-throughput workloads. It delivers sequential reads up to 7400MB/s and writes up to 6500MB/s, putting it in the top tier of Gen4 drives.

Key specs include:

• 1TB capacity with 1000TBW endurance rating
• 2x faster than PCIe Gen 3 SSDs
• Up to 40% less power consumption than DRAM-cache Gen4 SSDs thanks to HMB 3.0
• Compatible with PlayStation 5
• Designed for gamers, content creators, and professionals

The drive uses Host Memory Buffer 3.0 technology to use your system's DRAM instead of relying on an onboard DRAM cache, which keeps power draw and thermals lower without sacrificing performance.

Who This Is For

Best for: Gamers building or upgrading a PS5 or a PCIe Gen4 PC who want flagship read/write speeds without paying Samsung or WD premiums. Also a fit for video editors and creative pros who need fast transfer speeds for large project files.

If you already own a high-end Gen4 drive or don't need 7400MB/s reads, you can wait for a deeper discount.

Final Verdict

The $239 price shaves $10.99 off the standard $249.99 list for a drive that competes with the best Gen4 SSDs on the market. If you need a fast 1TB boot or game drive today. This is a fair price on a capable performer.
