The Lexar SSD NM790 4TB is a high-capacity SSD that stands out for its high storage capacity and powerful specifications. Designed to be optimized for use in both desktop PCs and laptops, this SSD offers large storage capacity as well as high speed to support demanding applications and data processing. Here is a very detailed description of the Lexar SSD NM790 4TB, including technical details, features and application area.
General description
The Lexar SSD NM790 4TB is an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD that uses the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. With a capacity of 4 TB, this SSD offers a significant amount of storage space for users who need to store large amounts of data. NVMe technology and the PCIe 4.0 standard enable exceptionally fast data transfer rates required for modern high-performance systems.
Technical Details
1. Interface:
- M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4: The NM790 uses the M.2 interface in combination with the PCIe 4.0 x4 bus. PCIe 4.0 offers higher bandwidth and faster data transfer rates compared to PCIe 3.0 by providing twice as many data lines (4 instead of 2) for data transfer.
2. Capacity:
- 4 TB: The SSD has a storage capacity of 4 terabytes, making it an excellent choice for users who need to store a large amount of data, such as large media files, extensive software installations or large databases.
3. Form Factor:
- M.2 2280: The NM790 has the M.2 2280 form factor, which is 80 mm long and 22 mm wide. This is the common form factor for NVMe SSDs and allows integration into many modern laptops and desktop PCs.
4. Performance:
- Sequential Read: Up to 7,500 MB/s. This high read performance ensures very fast application startup times, faster boot times and responsive system performance.
- Sequential Write: Up to 6,000 MB/s. This write speed enables fast storage and transfer of large files and amounts of data.
- Random Read/Write (4K IOPS): Up to 800,000 IOPS for random read and up to 750,000 IOPS for random write. This is especially important for applications that rely on a high number of fast data accesses.
5. Power Consumption:
- Power Consumption: Typically, the power consumption during operation is around 6 to 8 watts, depending on the load and usage scenario. When idle, the power consumption is around 0.2 to 0.5 watts. The SSD is designed to be energy efficient, which is particularly beneficial in mobile devices.
6. Construction:
- Height: The height of the SSD is 2.38 mm as standard, which corresponds to the M.2 form factor and fits into most modern computer cases.
7. Reliability and Lifespan:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): The mean time to failure is typically over 1.8 million hours, indicating high reliability of the SSD.
- TBW (Total Bytes Written): The SSD has a high TBW of around 2,000 TB, which indicates how many terabytes of data in total can be written to the SSD before it potentially fails. This indicates a long lifespan for the SSD.
8. Warranty:
- Limited Warranty: The Lexar NM790 comes with a 5-year limited warranty that covers repair or replacement for manufacturing defects.
Features
1. High Performance:
- Fast Data Transfer: The NM790 offers exceptionally fast sequential read and write speeds thanks to the PCIe 4.0 interface. This results in faster system boot, reduced application loading times, and better overall system response.
2. Energy Efficiency:
- Low Power Consumption: The SSD is designed to operate energy efficiently, which contributes to lower power consumption and better battery life for mobile devices.
3. Robust Construction:
- Vibration and shock resistance: Since the NM790 has no moving parts, it is resistant to physical shock and vibration, increasing its reliability in various applications.
4. Thermal management:
- Cooling technology: The SSD features advanced thermal management technologies that prevent performance from being affected by overheating. These include the use of thermal interface materials and optimizing the design for heat dissipation.
5. Data management and security:
- Error correction and encryption: The NM790 supports advanced data management technologies such as ECC (Error Correction Code) to improve data integrity and offers features to support data encryption to protect sensitive data.
Application range
1. High-performance desktops:
- Primary storage: The NM790 is ideal as primary storage in high-performance desktops, where its high capacity and speed can help process large amounts of data quickly.
2. Gaming PCs:
- Fast loading times: In gaming PCs, the SSD ensures very fast game loading times and improved system response time, resulting in a smoother gaming experience.
3. Laptops:
- System drive: The NM790 can be used as a system drive in laptops to load the operating system and applications at high speed and provide overall better system performance.
4. Workstations:
- Data-intensive applications: It is ideal for workstations that need to process large amounts of data, such as video editing, 3D rendering and scientific calculations.
5. Servers and data centers:
- High performance: The NM790 can also be used in servers and data centers to meet high performance requirements and ensure fast data access.
6. External Enclosures:
- Extended Storage: The SSD can be used in external M.2 enclosures to create a fast, portable storage device for backups and data transfers.
Summary
The Lexar SSD NM790 4TB is a high-performance M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD that features 4TB of storage capacity and impressive speeds of up to 7,500MB/s read and 6,000MB/s write.
