The Lexar NM990 M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD delivers next generation storage performance for high end gaming PCs, workstations and demanding professional applications. Featuring a PCIe Gen5 x4 interface, it achieves sequential read speeds of up to 14,000MB/s, with write speeds reaching 7,500MB/s. These exceptional transfer speeds help accelerate system boot times, game loading, large file transfers, professional rendering and intensive data processing. Its integrated 8 channel controller works alongside SLC dynamic caching and Host Memory Buffer technology to deliver random read performance of up to 1,600,000 IOPS and random write performance of up to 1,000,000 IOPS, depending on capacity. Lexar's Thermal Defender technology combines graphite heat dissipation decals and intelligent power management to help maintain efficient operation during demanding workloads. Compatible with Microsoft DirectStorage, the NM990 is designed to enhance supported gaming experiences with faster asset loading and reduced waiting times. Featuring a compact single sided M.2 2280 design format and supports installation in compatible PCIe 5.0 systems. With endurance ratings of up to 750TBW and a 1.5 million hour MTBF rating, the Lexar NM990 is an ultra fast storage solution for enthusiasts, gamers and professional creators seeking the performance of PCIe Gen5 technology.
Features
Lexar NM990 M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD
Up to 14,000MB/s read, 11,000MB/s write (Speeds based on internal testing. Actual performance may vary.)
Performance that Soars
Lexar® NM990 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5x4 NVMe SSD.
Cutting-Edge Performance
PCIe 5.0 interface delivers electrifying sequential read speeds up to 14,000MB/s (Speeds based on internal testing. Actual performance may vary.) - 2x faster than a typical Gen 4 SSD (Speeds based on internal testing. Actual performance may vary). This exceptional performance is perfect for serious gamers and professional rendering.
Thermal Defender Technology
Better power consumption management, an 8-channel controller, graphite heat dissipation decals, plus Thermal Defender technology combine to ensures 23% more efficient power consumption (The result is based on a comparison between the NM990 4TB (PCIe 5.0) and the NM790 4TB (PCIe 4.0). Speeds based on internal testing. Actual performance may vary.) and a smoother experience.
Slash Wait Times Supercharge AI Workflows
SLC Dynamic Cache delivers random read/write speeds up to 2000K/1500K IOPS (Speeds based on internal testing. Actual performance may vary.) to greatly reduce wait times, enhance data transfer speeds, and improve system responsiveness.
Works with Microsoft DirectStorage
Significantly boost game loads, minimise delays, conserve CPU power, and elevate the overall gaming experience. (Computer must meet DirectStorage requirements, and the game must be compatible with DirectStorage.)
Full-Capacity Design Get More Usable Space
Built with premium-grade original flash chips, full-capacity design provides 96GB additional nominal capacity compared to standard 4TB drives (4,096GB vs. 4,000GB), delivering enhanced storage potential for HD movies, AAA games, and professional workloads.
The full-capacity standard specifies 4TB=4096GB nominal capacity, while the rounded standard specifies 4TB=4000GB. Due to different measurement methods between manufacturers and operating systems, the actual displayed usable capacity will be lower than nominal capacity - approximately 3,725GB for rounded 4,000GB SSDs and 3,814GB for full-capacity 4,096GB SSDs. Displayed capacity varies by operating system.
Releasing Full Power
