Most modern SSDs usually offer storage configurations up to 4TB, leaving very few options to those who need a single drive with more space. However, there are a few 8TB models out there with some hefty price tags that can burn massive holes in your pockets. If you are on the market for such a drive and you are not afraid of sticker shock, check out the Lexar NM790 PCIe Gen4 SSD, which is currently available with a $100 discount.
The NM790, when connected to a PCIe Gen4 or Gen5 system, delivers solid speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s read and up to 6,200 MB/s write. Random read-write speeds are rated at 900,000 input-output operations per second (IOPS). The drive is compatible with all PCs that can accommodate an M2.2280 drive and Sony"s PlayStation 5 consoles. While the 8TB NM790 costs as much as the PlayStation 5 Pro, it will make sure you are not running out of space for the most demanding games for a long time.
In addition to great performance, the Lexar NM790 boasts improved energy efficiency, which is an important factor to consider if you want to install the drive in your laptop or tablet. The manufacturer claims the NM790 is 40% more energy efficient than PCIe Gen4 drives with DRAM cache. Finally, each drive comes with a limited five-year warranty and up to 1,500,000 hours of mean-time between failures.
