    5 out of 5 stars
    Fast, reliable, easy to install, great for the PlayStation 5!
    This is one of the best M.2 SSDs I own. As a first time M.2 NVMe SSD owner I'm glad I made the switch to these types of SSDs as I also own a 4 TB Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink for my gaming PC. The Lexar NM790 not only gives my PS5 great performance loading times are 10x fast. I only have to wait 11 seconds from the title screen into the game for Assassin's Creed Valhalla. in the Console storage I had to wait about 50 seconds sometimes even 60 seconds. It's easy to install as well.Remove the bottom plate. Take the SSD medal cover off remove the screw in the standoff space. Install the SSD and screw the screw at the end of the SSD. Put the medal cover back on the SSD housing. Put the bottom plate back on the PS5 and you're done! It takes less than a minute to install! This bad boy can hold about 50 games on your PS5. Buy it, you won't regret it!

    I've been looking at getting a larger NVMe SSD for a year or so now but prices have largely remained steady up until Fall off this year when they really started to get more affordable.

    This is replacing an older Gen 3 MP510 960GB. I was getting rather tired of having to pick and choose what I wanted installed on the drive.

    I picked the Lexar after reading numerous reviews and seeing nothing but positives.

    It's TLC based drive unlike most of the others around this price point for 4TB models. QLC drives have their own issues, the most concerning being longevity, as their NAND is much more easily worn out and typically do have any DRAM so in heavy or intense workloads they can drop to speeds like that of normal mechanical hard drive.

    It's got a rather high endurance rating, over twice the 1400 TBW of the drive out replaced. This was another reason for getting this as I don't have to worry about the drive failing due to exhausting the endurance. I'm sure I'll be looking gone before the drive would fail.

    One incredible thing is that Lexar managed to get all 4TB on a single side of the NVMe. Most drives they're on both sides making it harder to cool.

    My only con is that it does run quite warm. It does sit under my GPU and in general, idling on the desktop it can sit in the 50's. If your motherboard doesn't have a heatsink, you'll want to pick one up. I can't imagine how much worse it could be if I didn't have 2 140mm intakes on the side above the GPU blowing air down onto the board. I did buy a heatsink but have not yet installed it so I'll likely be looking at around a drop off 10-15C or more. If the extra $15-20 for the heatsink model didn't bother you, go that route.

    I will say I am hampering the drive as the m.2 slot it occupied is only a PCIE Gen 3 so it won't ever hit it's true speeds, but when I tested it, it was hitting the limit of the maximum bandwidth. I was getting identical read and write speeds capping out around 3500MB/s, a little less than half what the drive is capable of.

    If you're looking for speed, endurance, size options and a good price, the Lexar is the way to go. They've been in the storage game for a long time and have always been reliable for flash based storage

    As advertised, this drive is blazing fast. I upgraded from a Gen 3 drive, and doubled the speed. When installing windows, it went by REALLY quick.

    Where you will see the biggest improvements are the random 4k. At 30 MB/s on the old drive, I could tell it took a while to load a few things, but with this drive picking up at almost 64 MB/s, I could really tell everything was loading faster, working smoother, etc.

    I got the 4TB model because in the past, I have filled 2TB drives without even looking just installing games that I play, or want to play. Never run out of space on a 4TB.

    6 Month UPDATE: Still rock solid amazing drive. I haven't experienced a lot of "bit rot" like you might experience on less expensive drives. I hope to use Lexar for all my systems moving forward! Loading times in games and applications are blazing. The random read/write really made a big impact over my older/slower NVME drives.

    I work in IT, when clients ask me for a solid SSD upgrade I never would have thought of Lexar...When a friend of mine was looking to upgrade his aging 256gb SATA SSD, I took a chance on the NM790 1TB just to get him rolling. I really appreciated the built in heatsink, saves me the effort of having to buy one separate and install with those tiny screws. The heatsink is surprisingly dense and has been holding up for him for some time now. We've noticed no lack of performance, temps stay under control, and the install is as easy as any other NVME. This is going to be my new recommendation for my clients "just looking for an upgrade" and as long as the price stays down, I'll have no problem pointing my customers in this direction.

    The value for money is tremendous with this SSD - fast, cheap, and huge (I have the 4TB version). The only weak areas are random writes and it runs hot if installed under a MB vendor heatsink under a huge video card. Without sufficient airflow, this will heat up to its max operating temp (and beyond) of 70c. I had to add another fan to my case to get this SSD to operate in the 58-64c range under heavy gaming. Only artificial disk benchmarking apps that stress the SSD to the max will take it to 70c now (for my configuration). At idle the SSD temps now runs in the low 50's.

    If your SSD slot is not encumbered by cards hanging over it and you can put a proper SSD heatsink on it with good airflow around it, you shouldn't have any trouble keeping it under 60c under stress. Even with the high heat this SSD is worth it!

    I highly recommend it!!

    This is one of the best M.2 SSDs I own. As a first time M.2 NVMe SSD owner I'm glad I made the switch to these types of SSDs as I also own a 4 TB Samsung 990 Pro with Heatsink for my gaming PC. The Lexar NM790 not only gives my PS5 great performance loading times are 10x fast. I only have to wait 11 seconds from the title screen into the game for Assassin's Creed Valhalla. in the Console storage I had to wait about 50 seconds sometimes even 60 seconds. It's easy to install as well.

    Remove the bottom plate. Take the SSD medal cover off remove the screw in the standoff space. Install the SSD and screw the screw at the end of the SSD. Put the medal cover back on the SSD housing. Put the bottom plate back on the PS5 and you're done! It takes less than a minute to install! This bad boy can hold about 50 games on your PS5. Buy it, you won't regret it!

    This review is for:
    Lexar NM790 SSD with Heatsink 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drive, Up to 7400MB/s, Compatible with PS5, for Gamers and Creators (LNM790X004T-RN9NU)

    - Big at 4TB
    - Fast at 7400MB/s read, 6500MB/s write
    - Good endurance: 3000TBW
    - Up to 2x faster than previous generation PCIe Gen 3 SSDs
    - Compatible with PS5 (and PC/Mac)
    - Includes heatsink

    Misses?
    - Of course, 1/2 as fast as current gen PCIe Gen 5 SSDs but you may not buy those as they're even more expensive and run hotter under demanding workloads.

    If you're rocking a PCIe Gen 4 mobo and are looking for a bulk storage NVMe M.2 SSD, while this isn't the fastest, it offers better performance than many other M.2 drives out there. Worth considering. Recommended accordingly.

    I was in the market for a another ssd for more storage for my game files. I normally stick with crucial for my ssd's but I didn't want to do another sata ssd since i don't have much room in my case and my mother board has no m.2 slots. So I did some research and came across this pcie m.2 adapter. I told my tech buddy about it and he said that it would be a good idea and then he recommended me the lexar drive cause he has one and said it works great. Now normally I stick with crucial for my ssd's but when I was looking at prices lexar at the time was just a bit cheaper for my budget.This drive is amazing. Its super fast (faster then all my other drives) It was fairly easy to install into the adapter. Overall I'm very happy with it so far I haven't had it all that long but so far so good.
