Know before you buy
Yes, this SSD is fully compatible with the PlayStation 5. Its high-speed PCIe Gen4x4 interface meets the console's requirements, helping to reduce game load times.
Yes, the Lexar NM800 PRO includes a heatsink in the box. This is essential for maintaining consistent performance and preventing thermal throttling during heavy workloads or long gaming sessions.
Yes, this drive is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots. However, you will be limited to the maximum speed of the PCIe 3.0 interface, so you won't experience the full 7500MB/s read speeds.
This is an M.2 2280 SSD. It is a standard size that fits most modern desktop motherboards and laptops that support M.2 NVMe storage.
While not strictly required, using the included anti-static wrist strap is a smart safety precaution. It helps prevent accidental electrostatic discharge, which can damage sensitive electronic components during installation.
The 12nm controller is designed for better power efficiency. This helps the drive run cooler and consume less power, which is particularly beneficial for laptop battery life and overall system stability.
