Lexar NM790
NVME · 2TB
The NM790 pairs a Maxio MAP1602 controller with TLC NAND in a DRAM-less design, yet still claims 1,000,000/900,000 random read/write IOPS and a 1,500TB endurance rating — figures that outpace several DRAM-equipped drives in this comparison. Sequential throughput of 7,400/6,500 MB/s on PCIe 4.0 and a 5-year warranty round out a spec sheet aimed at users who want near-flagship numbers without paying for onboard DRAM. It positions itself above Lexar's own NS100 by every metric, from interface to endurance to warranty length.
