The Lexar 2TB NM790 SSD is designed for users seeking a significant performance boost, particularly gamers and content creators, by offering high-speed PCIe Gen4 NVMe storage. Its primary advantage is the rapid read/write speeds, enabling faster load times and file transfers. A potential consideration is ensuring your system is compatible with M.2 2280 NVMe drives and has a PCIe Gen4 slot for optimal performance.

PCIe Gen4 offers significantly higher theoretical bandwidth, allowing the NM790 to reach its maximum read/write speeds of up to 7400/6500 MB/s. When used in a PCIe Gen3 slot, the speeds will be limited to approximately 3500 MB/s.
While the NM790 is designed for efficient performance, a heatsink is not included. For typical use, it may not be strictly necessary. However, if you anticipate very heavy, sustained workloads (like continuous large file transfers or intensive video editing), a motherboard-integrated or aftermarket M.2 heatsink is recommended to prevent thermal throttling and ensure optimal performance.
Yes, the Lexar NM790 SSD is compatible with the PlayStation 5. Ensure it is installed correctly within the designated M.2 slot.
On Windows, search for 'Disk Management', right-click the drive, and select 'Initialize Disk' followed by 'New Simple Volume'. On macOS, open 'Disk Utility', select the drive, and click 'Erase'.
Please refer to Lexar's official website or the product packaging for the most up-to-date warranty information, as it can vary by region.
This is an M.2 NVMe SSD, utilizing the PCIe interface for much higher speeds compared to M.2 SATA drives.
Ensure the SSD is properly seated in the M.2 slot. Check if the M.2 slot is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI. Verify that your motherboard supports NVMe drives.
Confirm the SSD is installed in a PCIe Gen4 M.2 slot for maximum speed. Ensure your motherboard's chipset drivers are up to date. Check if background applications are consuming bandwidth.
The drive may need to be initialized and formatted. Open Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to assign a drive letter and format the partition.
Ensure the SSD is installed correctly according to PS5 guidelines. Reformat the drive using a PC if necessary (ensure it's formatted to the exFAT file system before installing in PS5).
