FAQs
What is PCIe Gen 4 and why does it matter?
PCIe Gen 4 is the fourth generation of PCI Express interface, offering double the bandwidth of PCIe Gen 3. The Lexar NQ790 leverages this to deliver speeds up to 7000MB/s, enabling faster file transfers, quicker application launches, and improved overall system responsiveness compared to older standards.
Is this SSD compatible with my system?
The Lexar NQ790 uses the M.2 2280 form factor and PCIe Gen 4 interface. It is compatible with any system featuring an M.2 NVMe slot, including modern laptops, desktops, and workstations. For optimal performance, your system should support PCIe Gen 4; however, the drive is backward compatible with PCIe Gen 3 systems.
What does the 5-year warranty cover?
The 5-year limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions. It provides protection for your investment and demonstrates Lexar's confidence in product quality and reliability.
How much data can this drive write before it fails?
The 1TB model has a TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating of 600TBW. This means the drive is rated to handle 600 terabytes of write operations over its lifetime. For most users, this translates to many years of typical use before reaching this threshold.
What is MTBF and what does 1.5 million hours mean?
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is a statistical measure of expected drive reliability. An MTBF of 1.5 million hours indicates that, on average, the drive is expected to operate for approximately 171 years before a failure occurs, reflecting high durability for enterprise and professional use.
Does this drive require additional cooling?
The Lexar NQ790 features intelligent power management and is designed to operate efficiently within its rated temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Most modern systems provide adequate thermal conditions; however, high-performance workloads or enclosed spaces may benefit from improved airflow or thermal pads.
Can I use this SSD as an external drive?
The Lexar NQ790 is designed as an internal M.2 drive. To use it externally, you would need a separate M.2 to USB enclosure, which is available from most retailers. This approach allows portability while maintaining the drive's high PCIe Gen 4 performance.
