Lexar NM790 512GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD is an internal solid state drive designed for high-speed PCIe-based storage applications requiring NVMe protocol compatibility.
Lexar NM790 512GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD uses a PCIe Gen4x4 interface and is backward compatible with supported PCIe generations depending on motherboard or system capabilities. Performance may vary based on host system configuration and thermal environment.
The drive uses an M.2 2280 form factor, measuring 80 x 22 x 2.45 mm, allowing installation in compatible laptops, desktops, and small-form-factor systems supporting NVMe M.2 slots.
Storage architecture uses verified 3D TLC NAND paired with a latest-generation 12nm controller designed for performance efficiency and reliability.
Installation requires a motherboard or device supporting PCIe NVMe M.2 drives. Lexar NM790 512GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD is not compatible with SATA-only M.2 slots.
Thermal behavior and sustained performance depend on system airflow and motherboard cooling solutions. PCIe Gen3 systems may operate at reduced performance levels.
