Lexar NM790 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD

The Lexar NM790 is a 1TB M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive built for gamers, professionals and creators who need fast NVMe storage. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and delivers sequential speeds up to 7400 MB/s read and 6500 MB/s write. The single-sided design makes it suitable for laptops and the PlayStation 5 console.

Upgrade from PCIe Gen 3 or slower NVMe drives

Moving to this drive from a PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SSD roughly doubles the theoretical bandwidth, which is most noticeable when loading large game levels, scrubbing high-resolution video timelines or transferring multi-gigabyte project folders. The jump is worth it when your workflow regularly hits the read or write ceiling of an older drive.

1TB capacity with 1000 TBW endurance rating

One terabyte holds a modern game library, creative applications and active project files with room for OS overhead. The 1000 TBW rating provides headroom for heavy daily writes such as video capture, compile workloads or large dataset processing. Sustained workloads that exceed the rated endurance or require consistent performance beyond the peak speeds will need a higher-capacity or enterprise-class alternative.
