Use Cases & Applications

Gaming Library Storage Modern game titles routinely exceed 100GB each. The Lexar NM790 2TB NVMe SSD provides enough space to store a full library without constant uninstalling and reinstalling. Moreover, the drive’s high random read IOPS reduce in-game loading times on both PC and PS5.

4K and RAW Video Editing Video producers working with 4K, 6K, or RAW footage generate very large project files quickly. The 6,500 MB/s sequential write speed supports multi-stream capture and editing without buffer stalls. Additionally, the 1,500 TBW rating accommodates the repetitive write cycles that editing workflows demand over years of use.

Professional Workstations and Development Environments Software developers, data analysts, and engineers benefit from the drive’s 1,000,000 random read IOPS when compiling code, querying datasets, or running virtual machines. The HMB architecture, however, keeps power draw low — an important factor in fanless or thermally constrained workstation builds.

Laptop Storage Upgrades Users replacing a factory-fitted HDD or Gen 3 SSD gain a significant performance uplift. The reduced power consumption of the DRAM-less design also helps extend battery runtime, which is particularly relevant in ultrabooks and thin-and-light notebooks.
