  • Our take on the LEXAR NM790 4TB

    The Lexar NM790 4TB is a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 2280 SSD built on a DRAM-less design with a host memory buffer. It stands out for its high 4TB capacity, 7,400 MB/s sequential read and 6,500 MB/s sequential write speeds, and a 3,000 TBW endurance rating that is generous for its class. It suits gamers, content creators and PS5 owners who want fast bulk storage without paying flagship prices. Reviewers generally find it close to premium Gen4 drives in real-world use, though sustained writes slow once the SLC cache fills and it lacks a DRAM cache.

    What reviewers say

    • 5 / 513 ratings

    Owners rate it highly, praising real-world speed, cool operation and capacity for the money. Most criticism centers on sustained write drops and the DRAM-less architecture, which matters mainly for heavy write workloads.

    What people mention
    • SpeedPraisedOwners report fast load times and near-advertised sequential reads in games and file transfers.
    • Sustained writesCriticisedLong writes slow noticeably once the SLC cache fills, which matters for large video renders.
    • ThermalsPraisedIt runs cool and efficient, so it works in laptops and PS5 slots without a heatsink.
    • DRAM cacheMixedThe DRAM-less design is fine for most users but noted as a limit for heavy write workloads.
    • ValuePraisedBuyers see strong capacity and endurance for the money compared with premium Gen4 drives.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Lexar NM790 4TB good for a PS5?
    Yes. It is a single-sided M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 drive that meets Sony's speed requirements, and it runs cool enough for the PS5 slot. You will still need to add your own heatsink if your console requires one.
    Does the NM790 have a DRAM cache?
    No. It is a DRAM-less drive that uses host memory buffer, which is fine for gaming and everyday use but can hurt performance in sustained heavy writes.
    How fast is the Lexar NM790 4TB?
    Lexar rates it at 7,400 MB/s sequential read and 6,500 MB/s sequential write over PCIe Gen4 x4. Real-world speeds are close in short bursts but drop on long sustained writes.
    What is the endurance of the 4TB model?
    The 4TB version is rated at 3,000 TBW, which is high for a consumer Gen4 drive and suits years of typical use.
    Does it come with a heatsink?
    No. The NM790 ships bare, so desktop users with a motherboard heatsink or PS5 owners should plan for one.
    Will it fit a laptop?
    Yes, if the laptop has an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 slot. Its single-sided design and low heat suit thin laptops.
    Where is the LEXAR NM790 4TB cheapest?
    At Newegg, for $707.00, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the LEXAR NM790 4TB?
    Rated 5 out of 5 from 13 ratings.
