    Use 3 of the 4TB models, 2 of them in my Unraid Lincstation. Using them only since a couple of days, therefore I dont have any longtime experience. But the performance/Price is excellent 👍🏻

    Exactly this, this little drive is great, good specks, good performance and good price. I've got 2x NM790 each with 2TB for about 2 months now and can confirm these benchmarks, its just an all around good NVME drive. Would even go out on a limb and call it nvme best buy.

    Got one in november '23 (without heatsink) for about 200$ and installed it in legion 5 notebook. No problems with speed and temperature (max about 60-62 Celsius but it had been copying files for over 6 hours straight). Typical not over 50-52 Celsius.
    Recommending.

  • @dafyddthomas7299
    @dafyddthomas7299 2 місяці тому

    Good value for money and use as extra storage drives, got a WD Drive as main O/S drive but all Gen 4 - as G5 M2 prices still expensive and my board can cater 4 x 4 G4 M2 without issue / restriction but if I put a G5 M2 in its slotted M2 G5 slot onboard my PCI Express card PCI lanes are halved. Very useful video indeed

  • @Galmok18

    I have this drive, the 4TB one, and run it in my laptop, Lenovo T490, which is gen 3 and either this drive doesn't like gen3 or Lexar has switched to use bad components. I don't even get gen3 speeds. With 1GiB file, three year numbers are 3325, 1733, 423152, and 1156. The write numbers are 3273, 740, 180688, and 2777. The r70/w30 numbers are 4105, 928, 226598, and 2200. Using 4GiB file the rear and wrote speeds are less than 2000. I know I won't get above around 3500 MBps due to gen3, but 1800 is way less than that and way less than what is down in the video. This is the Peak Performance (+Mix)" profile as is used in the video.
    It feels like the host memory buffer is missing. Could this be a driver issue?

    • @Galmok18
      @Galmok18 Місяць тому

      In the event log in Windows 11 I found evidence that HMB is enabled and set to 40MB. The only difference that should matter between my laptop and the system in the video should be the gen3 vs gen4 interface. Those should not result in such horrible numbers for my benchmark compared to the awesome numbers shown in the video. I do suspect Lexar might have switched hardware and kept the label. Maybe the drive is now QLC compared to TLC...

    I L-O-V-E this SSD.
    Agreed, I was sceptical in the beginning, but you can't beat the price for capacity and speeds.
    Absolutely depends on the system you are using, regarding HMB, but has never let me down so far.
    Usually I snatch them up in 4TB capacity whenever deals show up, highly recommended!

      Normally with these review drives, the majority go back to the brand after 2-4 weeks. However, in the case of this one, I am trying to keep it JUST as a boot drive for my machine I use for my writing. Never heard of it till days before it arrived and its genuinely one of the best put together SSDs I have ever had in the studio. PINICLE GEN 4 CONSTRUCTION!

    Yeah, the 4TB was steady at $250 for a long time and when on sale was the best bang for the buck. The 4TB scores very well for it's price, this went up in price and the SN850X had a big sale other wise I would of went with this NM790 for sure. It is really nice that it is all one sided too. That is a huge benefit for people, remember these NVMe's don't last as long (Heat) if they are used really hard, granted only 2-5% actually do though. Was interesting to watch 45 Drives tests among a few others over the last year or so, not totally scientific though. If the NM790 go down to $200-$220, I know what I'm buying for Prime Days, too bad Micro Center or Best Buy doesn't carry them as last year they had just as good of sales.

    You didn't reach the advertised sequential 7400 MB/s read speed because you're using an Intel platform. You imply that your CPU isn't fast enough, but that has little to do with it. I have a slower CPU than you (in single core performance at least), a Threadripper 3960X, yet i get 7430 MB/s read on all 3 of my NM790's. Intel platforms always have lower sequential speeds. That's why NVMe drive manufacturers always test with AMD.

      Getting more into H/ware again wished I went for an AMD Platform instead of I7 G12+ (eg., Dodgy CPU socket holder / lever, PCI lanes being less, etc) and AMD is now in lot of cases have edge on Intel - which to me is a pleasant surprise and good one that a previous underdog is now top dog now to somewhat many people say arrogant Intel
