Frequently Asked Questions & Store Policies
Why is the Lexar NM790 so popular among gamers?
It achieves top-tier 7,400 MB/s speeds matching flagship drives, but because of the efficient Maxio MAP1602 controller, it runs much cooler and uses 40% less power at an attractive price point.
Can I install the Lexar NM790 in a PlayStation 5?
Yes, its 7,400 MB/s read speed far exceeds Sony's 5,500 MB/s requirement. When using it in a PS5, pairing it with a low-profile M.2 heatsink is recommended.
How does HMB 3.0 work without onboard DRAM?
Host Memory Buffer (HMB) 3.0 allows the SSD controller to allocate a tiny fraction of your PC's fast RAM (around 64MB) for its lookup tables, delivering DRAM-level responsiveness without extra heat.
What makes the 1,500 TBW endurance rating special?
Most 2TB SSDs offer 1,200 TBW. The NM790 offers 1,500 TBW, meaning it can withstand 25% more written data over its lifespan.
Is it single-sided or double-sided?
The 2TB NM790 is completely single-sided, making it fully compatible with ultra-thin laptops and handheld gaming consoles like the ROG Ally with adapters.
What warranty is provided through AHW Store?
It includes a 5-year official authorized Lexar warranty with local replacement service in Egypt.
