Lexar NS100 Spec and Price in Canada

Name: Lexar NS100
Brand: Lexar

SATA1TB2.5-inch550 MB/s read

Built around a Marvell 88NV1120 controller, the NS100 is Lexar's SATA-tier entry, rated at 550/500 MB/s sequential with TLC NAND and a 512TB write endurance figure over a 3-year warranty. Compared to the NM790's PCIe 4.0 numbers, it's a generation and an interface behind, making it a fit for older systems, budget rebuilds, or anyone replacing a failing hard drive rather than chasing NVMe speeds.

Tied 96th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read — 4 models share this figure. Tied 99th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write — 4 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

Reviewers measured sequential reads at the advertised SATA ceiling and consistent burst performance.
It uses TLC NAND and is covered by a three-year warranty.

Commonly criticised

As a DRAM-less SATA drive it is limited to roughly 550MB/s, far below NVMe alternatives.
Measured write throughput fell noticeably short of its sequential read figure.
