Lexar’s new SSD lineup includes two powerful models: the NQ780 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD and the NM1090 PRO PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD. The NQ780 delivers outstanding performance with read and write speeds up to 7000 and 6000 MB per second and intelligent power control tailored for laptops. Meanwhile, the NM1090 PRO accelerates into future territory by offering blazing speeds up to 14000 MB per second read and 13000 MB per second write thanks to its advanced 6 nanometer controller and DRAM plus SLC dynamic cache. Both drives are ideal for seamless gameplay, creative workloads, and immersive experiences where lag and load times are unacceptable.
The NM1090 PRO’s efficient 6 nanometer controller optimizes thermal performance, keeping operating temperatures lower and more stable than previous generations, even during extended heavy workloads. Its dual cache system, combining DRAM and SLC, significantly reduces latency and ensures smoother multitasking when handling demanding applications. The NQ780, with HMB and SLC caching, delivers similarly fast and consistent responsiveness in a sleek single sided M.2 form that is well suited for laptops and compact builds. Together, these models strike an ideal balance of cooling, energy efficiency, and agile responsiveness, making them a reliable choice for both high end desktops and portable workstations.
Both SSDs are supported by Lexar’s DiskMaster management suite, a user friendly software that allows for simple firmware updates, drive health monitoring, and performance optimization in just a few clicks. The NM1090 PRO takes this a step further with support for Microsoft DirectStorage, enabling faster loading times, reduced CPU overhead, and smoother streaming of game assets in compatible systems. These enhancements not only improve gaming performance but also streamline workflows for content creators handling large projects. With these tools in place, users can focus on their tasks and creativity without worrying about the technical complexities of system maintenance.
With the new Lexar NQ780 PCIe 4.0 and NM1090 PRO PCIe 5.0 SSDs, you get unmatched transfer speeds, innovative cache architecture, efficient thermal control, and system friendly tools. All of this is packaged for modern gaming and professional media creation. Fast performance that stays cool and smart tools that keep things running smoothly make these drives game changers for demanding users.
