FAQs
What is PCIe 5.0 and why does it matter?
PCIe 5.0 is the latest generation interface standard that delivers up to twice the bandwidth of PCIe 4.0. While current systems may not fully utilise this speed, PCIe 5.0 SSDs like the NM1090 PRO future-proof your investment and provide maximum performance on compatible platforms.
Is the NM1090 PRO compatible with my laptop?
The NM1090 PRO uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor, which fits most modern laptops and desktops. However, compatibility depends on your motherboard or laptop supporting an M.2 slot. Check your system's specifications before purchasing. If your device only supports SATA, this drive is not compatible.
How long will the NM1090 PRO last?
Lexar backs the drive with a 5-year limited warranty. The MTBF rating of 1,500,000 hours indicates exceptional reliability. Real-world lifespan depends on usage patterns, but the TBW (Terabytes Written) rating of up to 5,600 for the 8TB model provides a realistic measure of write endurance for typical workloads.
What is DRAM cache and why is it important?
DRAM cache acts as a high-speed buffer that improves performance consistency. Higher DRAM capacity (up to 8GB on the 8TB model) ensures sustained performance during large file transfers and heavy workloads, preventing slowdowns that can occur when cache fills.
Does the NM1090 PRO come with installation software or drivers?
The NM1090 PRO is a standard NVMe drive that works with any compatible M.2 slot without requiring drivers in most operating systems. Windows, macOS, and Linux all recognise it immediately upon installation.
Can I use the NM1090 PRO in a gaming console?
The NM1090 PRO's PCIe 5.0 interface and M.2 2280 form factor make it technically compatible with gaming systems that support M.2 expansion (such as PlayStation 5). However, check your specific device's compatibility and heatsink clearance requirements before purchasing.
What is the difference between read and write speeds?
Read speed is how quickly data is retrieved from the drive, while write speed is how quickly data is saved to it. The NM1090 PRO delivers excellent performance in both directions, with reads up to 14,400MB/s and writes up to 13,400MB/s (8TB model), ensuring fast boot times and responsive application performance.
