Know before you buy
Yes, the Lexar Professional NM800 PRO is fully compatible with the PlayStation 5. It includes an integrated heatsink, which meets Sony's requirements for M.2 SSD expansion to ensure the drive stays cool during intensive gaming sessions.
This drive delivers high-end performance with sequential read speeds up to 7,500 MBps and write speeds up to 6,500 MBps. These speeds significantly reduce load times for demanding games and improve overall system responsiveness compared to older generation drives.
The heatsink is designed to fit within the standard M.2 2280 form factor requirements. While it adds a slight amount of height to the drive, it is specifically engineered to fit into the expansion slots of both gaming PCs and the PlayStation 5 without clearance issues.
Yes, the drive is backward compatible with PCIe Gen3 slots. However, you will be limited to the maximum speed of the Gen3 interface, meaning you will not be able to reach the full 7,500 MBps read speeds advertised for Gen4.
No special software is required to install or use the drive. It is a plug-and-play device that will be recognized by your operating system or console once properly seated in the M.2 slot.
Lexar backs this drive with a 5-year limited warranty, reflecting their confidence in the drive's durability. The 12nm controller also helps manage power and heat efficiency, which contributes to the overall longevity of the SSD.
