FAQs
Is the Lexar NQ790 compatible with my laptop or desktop?
The NQ790 uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and PCIe NVMe interface, making it compatible with most modern laptops, desktops, and workstations with an available M.2 slot. Check your device specifications to confirm M.2 NVMe support.
What read and write speeds can I expect?
The 2TB model delivers sequential read speeds up to 7000MB/s and write speeds up to 6000MB/s. Actual performance may vary depending on system configuration, workload, and usage patterns.
How long is the warranty?
The Lexar NQ790 is covered by a 5-year limited warranty, which protects against manufacturing defects and provides peace of mind for long-term use.
What is TBW and why does it matter?
TBW (Total Bytes Written) indicates the total amount of data you can write to the drive over its lifetime. The 2TB NQ790 supports 1,200 TBW, suitable for professional and consumer workloads including video editing, gaming, and general computing.
Does the NQ790 require a heatsink?
The NQ790 is designed to operate within standard temperature ranges (0°C to 70°C). Some systems or intensive workloads may benefit from additional cooling. Check your system requirements and consider a heatsink if needed.
What makes PCIe Gen 4 better than Gen 3?
PCIe Gen 4 doubles the bandwidth compared to Gen 3, enabling faster sequential read and write speeds. The NQ790's Gen 4 interface provides up to 7000MB/s read performance, significantly faster than Gen 3 drives.
Can I use this SSD in a gaming console or external enclosure?
The NQ790 is an internal M.2 drive. Compatibility with gaming consoles or external enclosures depends on specific device requirements. Check your console or enclosure manual for supported drive specifications.
