About This Product
The Lexar Professional NM1090 PRO is a high-performance PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD with 4TB capacity. It offers significantly faster sequential read/write speeds compared to PCIe 4.0 drives, making it suitable for demanding professional workloads like 8K video editing or large dataset processing. While its performance is top-tier, its price point is also at the high end of the market, competing with other premium PCIe 5.0 SSDs.
