ty for the video. at moment im ok cause my new pc arrived 1 week ago. its a big difference to my 10 yr old machine 🙂 have a nice weekend

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Nothing beats a fresh PC feeling, enjoy it mate 😀

[@J.Wick.]

I have one of these in a brand new Legion Slim 7, alongside a Samsung 990 PRO. This Lexar is faster than even the 990 on sequentials. The 990 is a bit quicker on randoms. But I'm more than happy witht the performance of the Lexar as my Data Drive. The only thing I've noticed is that it stays about 10c warmer than the 990 at all times. Lexar has been around a LOOOng time. And have been making memory as long as I can remember. I'm sure it will remain a good product. Between it, and the Fanxiang s880 unbeatable for the $$$.

[@SupraManG]

This is a shocker from Lexar. Impressive speeds of that drive. Yeah, I could also agree with using it as a data drive for storage or video editing. Good show, Vlad.

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

I was surprised too 😄 Thanks man 🤝

[@paulbreaux909]

Good video. Thanks.

[@NMBPictures]

Just ordered a 4tb lexar for my laptop. Would you say it was a good buy? Since dual sided m.2 dosnt fit

[@OvisTech]

Same controller is used in NM710, here with better flash. The endurance for the 2TB model seems to be 1500TBW. Good job!

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Thanks buddy, honestly I never used the MaxioTech controller before nor I have seen it in other drives, seems good for now 😀

[@Xilent1]

Been looking for a secondary NVME drive for my games. My 2nd M.2 slot isn't as fast as the primary M.2 which is fine. I consider Lexar reputable as well. I found 2TB for $89 😮 Great summary and video. Please provide an Amazon link or something for us American buyers. I never bought anything from a Germany website and not sure how the process would be or if I really wanna go through the process. 🤣New subscriber here.

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Thanks buddy 😀 I added the Amazon link, but the price on Amazon is a little bit higher than in Europe, dunno the reason...

[@i_ALX]

It's refreshing to see a new player in the NVME space 🙂 How's the performance when the drive is near-full?

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Never filled it up all the way, but all the tests I ran, total read and write is around 360 TB 😂 Almost all the drives use 1/3 of the capacity as a cache, if you fill it up beyond that point it will start to drop performance and drop to the TLC speeds, around 2500 MB/s

[@HuyNguyen-nf6qf]

Great video man. Just wanna ask that is there any difference in specs between heatsink and no heatsink version?

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Nope it's the same drive, since every board nowadays comes with a heatsink you can save a few bucks and get one without 👌

[@HuyNguyen-nf6qf]

@@LevelUPGamingTechHappy to hear it. Thanks for the quick rep btw 😊

[@DaveDFX]

I got Lexar 790 2Tb , Lexar 610 Pro 2Tb. Using them in external Thunderbolt/USB4 enclosures. Both are low cost and 790 performs much better in writing large amounts of data. 790 Throttles to around 100MBs while 610 pro throttles to 50MBs. Read speeds are fast as advertised.

[@pc-easy]

for external enckosure you made a BIG mistake...cause hmb the fast memory bus doesnt work trough usb c...never dram less for external drive

[@dabistudio_japan]

I bought this because I saw your video but I want it as my backup for Mac. Which enclosure do you recommend for the Heatsink version? Here in Japan, I couldn't find the standard version without heatsink on the 4Tb configuration.

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Sabrent NVME Enclosure is great, you can take of the heatsink from the drive that is not an issue, since it fits in the Sabrent enclosure without the heatsink and the enclosure itself is the heatsink then. Plus it pairs nicely with Apple products 😀

[@DaveDFX]

I'm using a few enclosures. I have the 2TB . You don't need the heatsink version for enclosures. They have built in heat sink or aluminum enclosure. I got Acasis, Orico and Jeyi Thunderbolt/USB4 Enclosures. 40GBs.

[@ryanjayramos7650]

i bought the latest Lexar Ares (2 x 1TB set to raid 0). While gaming its running at 70°C 😨 Planning to buy heatsink now

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Well you should always have a heatsink with any Gen4 drive, usually you have them on your motherboard but there are some boards that only come with one...

[@TheDavidPlata]

I got this Lexar 1TB SSD with heatsink for $50 on cyber Monday. I hope it works good in my PS5

I just bought the 4 TB version for my PS5 and im very happy with it. Works perfectly and only cost around 245 or so.

[@Just_Biscuit_Gaming]

I just got the 1TB version. But my PS5 wont recognize it. Did yours work the moment you installed it?

[@Nauzhror1216]

Yikes. Still a good SSD, but I paid $176 for the same drives last year. Pricing sure has went to hell.

[@maciejkaminski4853]

Hello. Is it possible to remove the heatsink easily? And after that - it looks like the version sold without heatsink - I mean with grey/black sticker, and disc is exactly the same as radiator-free version? Thanks Maciej

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Of course, looks the same as the one sold without when removed, classic 4 screws in the side and it pops off immediately 👌

[@maciejkaminski4853]

Thanks @@LevelUPGamingTech - thank you for reply. I just found a promo, in which this disc is with heatsink, but my laptop does not have space for it, so I have to remove it. Do you think such removal can cause any issue with possible guarantee void? And what about thermal pads - are they applied on the disc under the heatsink and I will have to remove them as well? Thank in adbance Maciej

Any recommendations for an 500 gb ssd for just Operating System ? i think 1tb or 2 tb for just like 40-50 gb of os its pointless and stupid, and i dont want to partition an ssd ... so looking for the best 250 -500 gb ssd I currently have WD_BLACK 500GB SN750 SE NVMe + a radiator, but its been hot since day 1

[@NwelOzSoul]

same WD Black is a good ssd, one year of use and no problems with temps

[@TheManuManux]

Hi, on Amazon I found this model Lexar NM790 Internal SSD 512GB, M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe SSD, Up to 7200MB/s Read, 4400MB/s Write, is it decent for a 5600g?

[@Dukitek]

Yes it is. As system drive it is enough. Check if there is 1TB for a little bit more money.

[@vitali6950]

Do not forget that the drive uses the hosts memory for cache since it has no dram. This might be a problem in external enclosures. Also I do not know how it behaves in the PS5.

[@LevelUPGamingTech]

Yeah I mentioned that it's DRAMless, and also was surprised how good it performs being without it 😀 Regarding PS5 it should be more than OK, I used even slower NVMe drives in the PS5 and it has no issues, as long as it can do 5500 write it's all ok, but as I said even slower ones will work.

[@jerryx2000]

So dram is unnecessary in a PS5?

you need heatsink to prevent throttling
