Know before you buy
The PCIe Gen 5x4 interface is the latest standard for NVMe drives, enabling this SSD to reach read speeds of up to 14,000MB/s. This is significantly faster than previous generations, making it an excellent choice for high-end gaming rigs and professional workstations that handle large file transfers.
The Lexar NM1090 PRO uses the standard M.2 form factor, which is compatible with most modern laptops and desktops. However, because Gen 5 drives can run hot, ensure your device has adequate clearance or a dedicated heatsink slot to accommodate the drive's physical profile.
TBW, or Terabytes Written, measures the total amount of data you can write to the drive before it reaches its wear limit. A 1400TBW rating is quite high, meaning this drive is built to handle heavy, daily professional workloads like 4K video editing or massive data processing for years without issue.
Absolutely. While it is powerful enough for professional content creation, gamers will benefit from the ultra-fast read speeds, which result in near-instant game loading times and faster system boot-ups.
No, this is a plug-and-play NVMe drive. Once installed in a compatible M.2 slot, your operating system will recognize it immediately, though you should ensure your motherboard's BIOS is updated to support PCIe Gen 5 speeds to get the best performance.
