About This Product
The Lexar NM500 is a 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD utilizing a PCIe 3.0 x2 interface. This limits its theoretical bandwidth compared to x4 NVMe drives, resulting in lower sequential read/write speeds. It is suitable for basic system drives or secondary storage where high-speed transfers are not critical, offering a performance upgrade over SATA SSDs but falling short of mainstream NVMe performance.
Verdict
“Entry-level NVMe for budget builds or secondary storage, offering a step up from SATA.”
