Lexar NM800 1TB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD

Gen4 speed

Up to 7,400MB/s read

PCIe 4.0 ×4 doubles the lane bandwidth of Gen3 drives. Large project files, 4K/8K footage and modern games built for fast storage (DirectStorage) all feel the difference directly.

Form factor

M.2 2280 — the standard

The universal gumstick format fits modern desktop boards and most laptops. On a Gen3 slot it still works — capped at that slot’s speed — so it survives your next platform upgrade.

Capacity

1TB of working space

Enough for an OS, a professional application suite and an active project archive — or a substantial game library — without the constant triage a 500GB system drive demands.

Right choice if you…

✔ Edit video or work with large files daily
✔ Have a PCIe 4.0 slot (AM4 X570/B550, AM5, Intel 11th gen+)
✔ Want next-gen game loading with DirectStorage
✔ Are building or upgrading a serious workstation

Consider something else if…

✖ Your machine is Gen3-only and staying that way — the NM620 saturates a Gen3 slot for less
✖ You’re reviving an older laptop with a SATA bay — see the NS100 SATA
✖ General office use — Gen4 headroom goes unused on documents and browsing

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it work in my PCIe Gen3 machine?

Yes — NVMe is backwards compatible. It runs at the slot’s Gen3 ceiling (~3,500MB/s), and unlocks full speed if you later move it to a Gen4 board.

Does it need a heatsink?

For sustained heavy writes a motherboard M.2 heatsink helps Gen4 drives hold peak speed. For typical mixed use it runs fine without one.

Is it good for PS5 expansion?

The PS5 requires a Gen4 drive with a heatsink fitted; the NM800’s interface qualifies — add a compatible heatsink before installing.

NM800 or NM760?

Both are Gen4. The NM800 is the faster flagship; the NM760 is the efficient mainstream choice. For scratch-disk and heavy creative work, the NM800 earns its position.
