Review: Great value... if it lives. (EDIT: 6 month update) - Edited 4/27/2024- Increased overall rating to 5 stars. After 6+ months, this ssd is still working perfect and hasn't really lost any speed or health (see 2nd pic) even though it has had over 3TB of data on it for the last 4 months. Great drive and glad I purchased 2 before the prices increased. I still think it's worth it at the current price. I've been running 2x 2tb Samsung 980 Pro ssd's on my Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 and was getting low on D: drive space. I could have shared some C drive space but with ssd prices being what they are at the present time, why bother? I decided it was time to step up to a 4TB ssd but I chose to try saving a little money and went with the Lexar NM790 4TB. I've used many Lexar storage products in digital cameras and digital audio players in the past and have never had one fail. It is my understanding that Lexar has changed hands so the jury is out as to whether this ssd will live a long reliable life, much like all of the previous Lexar products that I've owned. Having said this, so far I'm very happy with the drive, especially for my needs and the money spent. I am using it strictly as a game storage drive so my opinion may or may not be different if I were using it as an OS/boot drive. The Samsung 2tb 980P will continue to be my OS/boot drive since I know it's reliable, has DRAM and there's still plenty of room left for my DAWs and music. I did go ahead and run the CrystalDiskMark test set to the NVME settings. I only ran a single test in order to see what the drive was capable of when filled to 56% with over 2TB of data. In actual use, it works as good as the 980P and I have no complaints. Color me surprised- this drive is actually showing as good if not better numbers than the 35% full Samsung 980P 2TB. If this drive actually lives past the warranty, I will consider it an extremely good value. This is a much better deal than similarly priced QLC drives since this has TLC and is MUCH faster. Finally, someone produced a fast and affordable 4TB ssd without QLC.
Review: Great & Easy Storage Upgrade for PS5 - Works as advertised one of the more cost effective options for a PS5 storage upgrade. Read Write performance comparable to onboard storage. Upgrade process was surprisingly easy. Great experience overall, highly recommended. Sony's website has the installation video for all PS5 versions but generally it's sliding /popping off a plastic panel removing a small metal door with a Philips screwdriver seating and installing the drive in the port and reversing the process to seal it up. PS5 will need to format it on fist boot and you will need to choose / move installed games from the onboard storage to the new drive. I haven't noticed any difference in load times between the two so you may as well re-direct all new game installs to the new drive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is TLC or QLC?**
A: Hello -  NM620/ NM710/ NM790/ NM800 PRO are all TLC

**Q: Will this work with a PS5?**
A: Unfortunately no.The PS5 uses a PCIe Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSD.
I would suggest doing some research because the PS5 only takes very specific drives.

**Q: Ocupa disipador de calor para usar en ps5 ?**
A: Hello. The Lexar® NM790 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD does not occupy a Heatsink. However, the Lexar® Professional NM800PRO with Heatsink M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe SSD does and is also compatible with PS5. I have provided the following link: https://www.lexar.com/en/product/lexar-professional-nm800pro-with-heatsink-m-2-2280-pcie-gen4x4-nvme-ssd/. I hope this helps. Have a great rest of your day. ​

**Q: I have an X99 motherboard and it uses 4-lane PCIe bus for m.2 ; Is this SSD compatible with a Gen 3 interface?**
A: Hello. The Lexar® Professional NM800PRO M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe SSD is also backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0. You can view this link to confirm: https://www.lexar.com/en/product/lexar-professional-nm800-pro-m-2-2280-pcie-gen4x4-nvme-ssd/. I hope this helps. Have a great rest of your day.
