Strong Recommendation
Lexar
The Lexar NM790 2TB looks like one of the stronger value plays in PCIe 4.0 storage. Official specs are aggressive, endurance is solid at 1500 TBW, and independent testing consistently points to fast everyday and application performance, but it gives up some premium niceties versus drives like the WD Black SN850X or Samsung 990 Pro.
A confident pick for the right buyer, with trade-offs that are easy to understand.
The MaxTechPicks verdict
