          If your using this as a everyday PC, for just playing some games/movies/internet/work, this drive will be fine. Just try and get something with good Endurance/Warranty. (compare it to a Kingston NV2 which is around this price. Its Endurance is 320TBW/3year for a 1TB drive, where this 1000TBW/5year and more than twice its speed)

          If your after the best of the best and no substitute, you write/read large files all day and time is a factor, or you want bragging rights. Then you may want to look at something with DRAM. you could almost buy 2TB for the cost of a good DRAM 1TB Gen4 drive with similar speeds.

          A drive with DRAM will be better, but depending on your use case, it will do the job fine. If you need a drive with DRAM, you most likely already know it and have it.

      They're pretty good. I'm getting 7400mb/s read speeds and 6700mb/s write speeds. Temps can get up to 74C (21C ambient temp according to my motherboard) because the top label is made from a cloth tape which acts as an insulator rather than as a heat spreader. Tried sticking thermal pad and heatsink on top of the label and temps stayed at 74C at full load (5x1gb crystaldiskmark runs). Removed the top label and stuck the thermal pad and heatsink on and temps dropped to 49C under full load and 44C under gaming loads.

      I figured removing the top label wouldn't void warranty as the warranty info seems to be on the label on the underside. Top label is just branding.

      The heatsink I'm using is a Jeyi finned heatsink from AliExpress that is currently selling for $3.09AU with free shipping. Tried to post link but it got blocked by the ozbargain bots.

      • Grissallia on 09/08/2023 - 09:57

        It's got me thinking to swap out my 2Tb PNY CS1031 for this. My motherboard has a full heatsink for all three secondary NVMe drives, so it just comes down to a question of whether removing that label does void warranty or not.

        • DangerNoodle on 09/08/2023 - 10:22

          I can't make any guarantees on warranty since I haven't had any issues with mine, but it's kinda silly that they would use a label made of insulating material. The cheap heatsink was definitely worth it though.

          My Gigabyte X570I does have a fan on top of the drive but it's also to cool the chipset underneath. It only kicks in when the chipset temps hit 40C, which it doesn't during the benchmarking. When the fan doesn't kick in, it kind of chokes airflow to the SSD. Kind of annoying that this is the only fan that gigabyte blocks full fan control on, I'm stuck picking from their profiles.

      • hollykryten on 09/08/2023 - 10:31

        Yeah it's a good idea to use a heatsink with one of these M.2 SSD. You could use some thing like this heatsink cooler specially designed for M.2 SSD drives.

        https://www.pccasegear.com/products/56573/silverstone-tp05-s…

        • DangerNoodle on 09/08/2023 - 10:36

          The one I used from AliExpress was $3.09 and free shipping from the brand Jeyi. It is similar in design to that drive but doesn't have the bottom bracket and isn't as tall. I considered using something similar to that style of heatsink but the slots on my X570I have tight clearances around the side so it wouldn't fit. I would assume these would give better temp drops than mine.

        Would you happen to know the NAND type used in these SSDs? Guessing / hoping YMTC Xtacking 3 (4th gen). In flash utilities, they are commonly reported as YMTC 4.0 NAND.

        • [Deactivated] on 09/08/2023 - 13:24

          If so are these good? 4 tb is tempting.

          • netsurfer on 09/08/2023 - 19:37
            +1

            @[Deactivated]: If the 4TB ones are Maxio and Xtacking 3 (not 2) then it is worth considering. I don't own these so I am just basing on what I read on other SSDs with similar setup, 2TB or greater, 8 channels SSDs (most of them with DRAM) are hard to beat and the Maxio controller used in NM790 starts to show its weakness. However, for most people, under general usage, won't really notice.

            Basically, right now, the 4TB one is well priced. However, back in our mind, we all wish for a semi Amazon pricing error on a 4TB Samsung, WD, SK Hynix or Seagate flagship. On the other hand, PCIe gen 4 x4 SSDs are really overkill for most of us. How are we going to copy 4TB worth of data to this SSD? From HDD? If so, we are talking about the source device doing 100MB/s.

      • Orrelljet on 09/08/2023 - 15:02

        Very useful info, thanks. Mine does run very hot but couldn’t work out why. Will try that when I get home.

      • skillet on 18/08/2023 - 18:28

        It's extremely helpful if you add some sort of cooling to any SSD. Running it at elevated temps is basically cooking it and burning away it's longevity. It's also on of a way manufacturers do simulated aging by heating them up to high temperatures.

    • OMan on 09/08/2023 - 11:22

      I got the 1TB a couple of month ago. I moved my VMs to it from a Firecude 530, and they run faster.

    They should be pretty good, YMTC NAND + Maxiotech Controllers have reviewed really well

    Drive specs https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/lexar-nm790-1-tb.d1493

    Netac NV7000-T has the same nand and controller and that reviewed extremely well:

    Will this work inside a satechi usb c hub expansion for Mac Mini?

    • Magical Sound Shower on 09/08/2023 - 10:06

      No, they only work with a M.2 Sata SSD. This is an M.2 Nvme SSD. They look similar but have different pins on the connector.

    • Orrelljet on 09/08/2023 - 15:04

      I have the Hagibis is one which does support nvme but nowhere near full speed. Satechi we’re a little tight-fisted with their offering, in my view.

  • dqtl74 on 09/08/2023 - 09:49

    Wish I'd jumped on one of the previous deals for SSDs that included a heatsink so I could use it with the PS5.

    • JunkyardDog on 09/08/2023 - 10:02

      Is it possible to buy a heatsink casing and add it to the ssd?

      • amaslam on 09/08/2023 - 10:14
        +1

        Yes, I've done this with a SK Hynix SSD. I got this one but didn't do extensive searching for cheapest. It comes with two thick and two think thermal pads that you stick to your drive depending on if the chips of the SSD are on one side (one thick + one thin) or both sides (two thins)

      • DangerNoodle on 09/08/2023 - 10:24
        +1

        Yes, scroll up and see my other long post. With a $3.09 heatsink from AliExpress and removing the top (no warranty just branding) label from the drive my temps dropped from 74C at full load to 49C at full load (5x1gb crystaldiskmark runs). Top label is made of insulating material.

        I got 4 of the same heatsinks and used them on my PC and laptop nvme drives, big improvements on PC since there's decent airflow, improvement on laptop was only around 8C but I'm sure these would get heatsoaked since there's no airflow to my SSDs in my laptop.

        • Justin9mm on 09/08/2023 - 10:52

          Are you saying to use heatsink only on one side for this SSD? What about not at all?

          • DangerNoodle on 09/08/2023 - 11:01

            @Justin9mm: No heatsink is 74C.

            Removing the top insulating label and putting on a thermal pad and heatsink dropped to 74C. The drive is one sided so top heatsink was fine. Might get some benefit with a dual sided heatsink to take heat away from the underside of the PCB but my motherboard has tight clearances so can't test it.

    • bindok on 09/08/2023 - 12:42

      Leave the PS5 SSD cover off, and it should be almost the same as cover on + heatsink. There are youtube videos that show this.
