The Lexar NM620 1TB is the drive that saturates a PCIe Gen3 slot without paying for bandwidth the slot can’t use: manufacturer-rated reads up to 3,300MB/s — six times SATA — in the standard M.2 2280 format. For the millions of Gen3 desktops and laptops still in service, this is the rational upgrade.
Matched
Built for Gen3 machines
A Gen4 flagship in a Gen3 slot runs at Gen3 speed anyway. The NM620 delivers what the slot can actually carry, and puts the savings into capacity instead.
Transformative
HDD or SATA → NVMe
Coming from a hard drive, boot times collapse from minutes to seconds; from a SATA SSD, large file work and game loads still roughly triple. The single most noticeable upgrade an older PC can get.
Capacity
A full 1TB
Whole-system storage in one drive: OS, applications, games and files — no juggling between a small fast drive and a slow big one.
Right choice if you…
✔ Run a PCIe Gen3 desktop or laptop (Intel 6th-10th gen, older AMD)
✔ Are replacing a hard drive or SATA SSD
✔ Want 1TB of fast storage at value pricing
✔ Build budget PCs where every pound counts
Consider something else if…
✖ You have a Gen4 slot — the NM760 or NM800 use it properly
✖ Your machine has no M.2 slot at all — the NS100 2.5” SATA is the drop-in answer
✖ You need PS5 expansion — that requires Gen4

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my PC has an M.2 slot?
Check the motherboard manual or maker’s spec page for “M.2 2280 NVMe”. Most desktops from 2016 on and most laptops from 2018 on have one.
Will Windows need reinstalling?
Not necessarily — free cloning tools copy your existing installation across. A fresh install is cleaner if the machine has years of clutter.
Does it work in a Gen4 board?
Yes — it runs at its own Gen3 speed. If the board is Gen4, though, a Gen4 drive gets more from the same slot.
NVMe vs SATA SSD — is the difference real?
For boot and app launches both feel quick; the gap shows in large file transfers, game loading and heavy multitasking, where NVMe is several times faster.
