So far works great for the UCG-Max. I opted for this model over the 4x4 newer version because the UCG-Max doesn’t run the faster speed anyway. Plus this one runs cooler and thats a must have with constant NVR camera stream recordings. It matches the speed that the hardware is designed for and from what I understand the chips on this one dont only run cooler but also tend to last longer.

I already had the 1Tb version of this Mini PC running Umbrel (Bosgame B100) but needed upgrade the storage, so getting the same version was a no brainer and it was also the best price vs performance option.

Respuesta corta:Llevo poco más del año con esta memoria y la verdad la recomiendo al 100% 👍🏽Respuesta larga:Estaba dudoso de comprarla por qué todos te recomiendan usar la certificada por Playstation o western digital o Segate etc... Pero en ese momento esta se encontraba en oferta y pues de pagar $2,500 a 3,800 casi 4mil por dos teras de memoria pues me fui por esta Lexar y hasta el momento no he tenido problemas, juego desde la memoria muevo juegos entre almacenamientos de forma rápida, en general funciona muy bien.

PS5 Application: if you're a big video game individual and hate having to swap games all the time, this is what you need. Maintain the crazy load speeds of the SSD and increase your storage by a lot. Easy install. Watch a YouTube video and it takes 10 minutes. Will never go back. Zero issues whatsoever in terms of functionality. Great product

Used to upgrade a gaming laptop. I now have tons of storage with pretty fast data transfer speeds.

This is a really great purchase because of its excellent value for money. It's got speed – fast read/write speeds that didn't disappoint. The installation process was a breeze, too. I appreciated its compact and lightweight design - it tucks away neatly with no hassle. Altogether, it's a top-notch product, all things considered.

The product works as advertised. I installed it onto my Lenovo Legion, and it was setup rather quickly. So far I haven't had any issues with storage, temps, or read/write speeds. What else is there to say other than it's well worth it and is probably the best gen 4x4 NVME you can get at this price range?

After spending a while contemplating if I should get an external SSD with Heatsink for my PS5 so I wouldn't have to worry about deleting games to make space I finally decided to do so. This has been absolutely worth it! Super easy install. PS5 recognized it immediately and plays games off of it without issues. I was able to move games to the SSD quickly, about 156 GB took 65 seconds to move. This drive is absolutely worth it, quality appears great, overall super happy with my purchase! Highly recommend this to any looking for extra storage!

I've been looking at getting a larger NVMe SSD for a year or so now but prices have largely remained steady up until Fall off this year when they really started to get more affordable.This is replacing an older Gen 3 MP510 960GB. I was getting rather tired of having to pick and choose what I wanted installed on the drive.I picked the Lexar after reading numerous reviews and seeing nothing but positives.It's TLC based drive unlike most of the others around this price point for 4TB models. QLC drives have their own issues, the most concerning being longevity, as their NAND is much more easily worn out and typically do have any DRAM so in heavy or intense workloads they can drop to speeds like that of normal mechanical hard drive.It's got a rather high endurance rating, over twice the 1400 TBW of the drive out replaced. This was another reason for getting this as I don't have to worry about the drive failing due to exhausting the endurance. I'm sure I'll be looking gone before the drive would fail.One incredible thing is that Lexar managed to get all 4TB on a single side of the NVMe. Most drives they're on both sides making it harder to cool.My only con is that it does run quite warm. It does sit under my GPU and in general, idling on the desktop it can sit in the 50's. If your motherboard doesn't have a heatsink, you'll want to pick one up. I can't imagine how much worse it could be if I didn't have 2 140mm intakes on the side above the GPU blowing air down onto the board. I did buy a heatsink but have not yet installed it so I'll likely be looking at around a drop off 10-15C or more. If the extra $15-20 for the heatsink model didn't bother you, go that route.I will say I am hampering the drive as the m.2 slot it occupied is only a PCIE Gen 3 so it won't ever hit it's true speeds, but when I tested it, it was hitting the limit of the maximum bandwidth. I was getting identical read and write speeds capping out around 3500MB/s, a little less than half what the drive is capable of.If you're looking for speed, endurance, size options and a good price, the Lexar is the way to go. They've been in the storage game for a long time and have always been reliable for flash based storage

Edited 4/27/2024- Increased overall rating to 5 stars. After 6+ months, this ssd is still working perfect and hasn't really lost any speed or health (see 2nd pic) even though it has had over 3TB of data on it for the last 4 months. Great drive and glad I purchased 2 before the prices increased. I still think it's worth it at the current price.I've been running 2x 2tb Samsung 980 Pro ssd's on my Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 and was getting low on D: drive space. I could have shared some C drive space but with ssd prices being what they are at the present time, why bother?I decided it was time to step up to a 4TB ssd but I chose to try saving a little money and went with the Lexar NM790 4TB. I've used many Lexar storage products in digital cameras and digital audio players in the past and have never had one fail. It is my understanding that Lexar has changed hands so the jury is out as to whether this ssd will live a long reliable life, much like all of the previous Lexar products that I've owned. Having said this, so far I'm very happy with the drive, especially for my needs and the money spent. I am using it strictly as a game storage drive so my opinion may or may not be different if I were using it as an OS/boot drive. The Samsung 2tb 980P will continue to be my OS/boot drive since I know it's reliable, has DRAM and there's still plenty of room left for my DAWs and music.I did go ahead and run the CrystalDiskMark test set to the NVME settings. I only ran a single test in order to see what the drive was capable of when filled to 56% with over 2TB of data. In actual use, it works as good as the 980P and I have no complaints. Color me surprised- this drive is actually showing as good if not better numbers than the 35% full Samsung 980P 2TB. If this drive actually lives past the warranty, I will consider it an extremely good value. This is a much better deal than similarly priced QLC drives since this has TLC and is MUCH faster. Finally, someone produced a fast and affordable 4TB ssd without QLC.
