Lexar NM790 1TB with Heatsink
Part numberLNM790X001T-RN9NU
The short answer
The Lexar NM790 1TB with Heatsink, part number LNM790X001T-RN9NU, is an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with 1 TB of capacity on PCIe 4.0. The heatsink comes already fitted, so it suits a mini PC owner who has a free M.2 2280 slot and has checked the clearance above it.
Specifications
The drive holds 1 TB. Sequential read is 7400 MB/s and sequential write is 6500 MB/s over NVMe on PCIe 4.0. It is an M.2 2280 drive, so it needs a slot of that size, and the fitted heatsink is the part that can get in the way in a tight machine. The heatsink also means you do not have to buy one separately.

Which mini PCs it fits
An M.2 2280 NVMe drive goes in an M.2 2280 slot. The Lenovo ThinkCentre neo 50q Gen 5, MINISFORUM AI X1 Pro and MSI MAX Edge AI+ can take it, but check clearance, because this drive has a heatsink. The Apple Mac mini (M6), Mac Studio (M5 Max) and Mac Studio (M5 Ultra) do not fit, since none has an M.2 slot. For the ACEMAGIC AM08 Pro and GMKtec NucBox M5 Plus we have not confirmed it fits, because we have not confirmed how many M.2 slots they have.
Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.com, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Before you buy
Check clearance before you buy, because the heatsink is already on the drive and the Lenovo, MINISFORUM and MSI machines named above fit only with that caveat. Lexar does not state the drive's endurance, whether it has a DRAM cache, or whether it is single-sided.
Common questions
Does the Lexar NM790 come with a heatsink?
Yes, this version has the heatsink already fitted, so you do not add one yourself. It also means you should check that your machine has room for it.
Will it work in an Apple Mac mini or Mac Studio?
No. The Apple Mac mini (M6), Mac Studio (M5 Max) and Mac Studio (M5 Ultra) have no M.2 slot, so this M.2 2280 drive does not fit them.
How fast is the Lexar NM790 1TB?
Lexar gives a sequential read of 7400 MB/s and a sequential write of 6500 MB/s, with an NVMe PCIe 4.0 interface and 1 TB of capacity.
