      Yep, I was also waiting for the nm790 to hit that magical sub $300 price. Hopefully we don't get screwed by some crazy black friday deal.

          Don't have to convince me, I already bought one!

  • TheLongestLurker on 22/11/2024 - 01:19

    questions is - do I wait for the 8TB

    • treater on 22/11/2024 - 06:03

      I wonder how cheap it will be. If the 4tb is $300, I can't imagine the 8tb will be less than $700

      • Fasian on 22/11/2024 - 12:22

        yea someone was saying 500, but idk how true that is.

        • AssociatedLexar ANZ Chris @ Lexar on 25/11/2024 - 20:15

          it will be true in few years

    BTW there is a firmware update on this(4TB) SSD: 12237 to 16949

    Also FYI: Lexar diskmaster latest version 1.1.4 does not work on Windows 11 for some reason, only on Windows 10. I had to use rufus to make a Windows 10 Windoes To Go drive in order to update the firmware

    I think after the firmware upgrade my random write has improved and SSD runs lower temp.

    • Tythefly86 on 22/11/2024 - 02:52

      Does updating the firmware erase the disk? Is the firmware update important? I bought this drive about 6 months ago and haven't had any issues with it. Currently 3.2tb out of 4tb used and it works great.

      • timliu1996 on 22/11/2024 - 03:01
        +1
        1. No
        2. No

        It's just a bit of random read performance improvement and lower SSD temperature (somehow, though I have no idea how temperature was improved)

    • MeateaW on 22/11/2024 - 20:50

      Software worked on my windows 11 machine fine. (tested 10 minutes ago)

      • benjnight on 09/12/2024 - 22:40

        No, Lexar DiskMaster doesn't update the firmware on Windows 11.
        Such a pain.

        Reddit Discussion

        • MeateaW on 24/12/2024 - 16:11

          I literally did it, on windows 11, 10 minutes before that comment.

          And I know the difference between windows 11 and windows 10, I believe I was on 24h1 release (hadn't upgraded to 24h2 yet).

          I performed the upgrade while installing windows onto my replacement PC a minisforum bd790i that I am 3dprinting a custom case that I am designing.

          It was windows 11, and I upgraded my 4tb nm790 Lexar drive I bought in the previous sale perfectly fine.

        • Nom on 24/12/2024 - 19:01

          I've upgraded mine on Windows 11 and it worked just fine.

      yeap for $289 and with free headset.

  • perfectlydark on 22/11/2024 - 08:18

    about time a non- Fikwot drive got under the $300 mark for 4tb

    The random write performance is quite bad on this one.

    Could anyone share real life experiences with it? If I get it, I plan to use this drive as data drive with lots of reads and writes. Thanks

    • 351pwr on 22/11/2024 - 09:33

      Does drive capacity have an impact on the test? All the other drives are 2tb or 1tb

      • Kommandos0 on 22/11/2024 - 09:35
        +1

        Nah it shouldn't the KC3000 4TB still holds ~1million random R/W on it's spec list.
        So I think the lexar just falls short in that category.

    • Riceplate on 22/11/2024 - 09:36

      Random read/write matters if you're using it as an OS drive, or reading/writing to databases.

      For storing media or game data it means little.

    • timliu1996 on 22/11/2024 - 11:58
      +1

      See my comments above, there is a firmware update came out recently and it has improved random write speed

  • AssociatedLexar ANZ Chris @ Lexar on 23/11/2024 - 08:09

    Also 2tb, 1tb nvmes, sata drives and rams are also on special, ask your local lexar reseller on what deals they have.
    The deal is also available pretty much in every computer store that sells Lexar (at least they have access to the price).
    some of the Gen5 1t and 2t also been discounted.

    So there are also 10+ places you can find the deal, if one place sold out.

    there won't be 8tb deal this time.
    Market expectation is way too low at the moment, however I will do whatever I can before Christmas to run a small batch 8tb deal.

        Hi Chris, do you have a list of retailers that are running this promotion? I’m interested in a 4TB drive without the heatsink. Mwave has put the price back up and BPCTech is awaiting supply. Thanks.

  • felixyong on 24/11/2024 - 17:34

    Where are the place that I can find the AUD295 for NM790 4TB?

    • AssociatedLexar ANZ Chris @ Lexar on 25/11/2024 - 20:08

      it was 299, there are still many places have promo stock

      • nascar on 26/11/2024 - 00:20

        Hi Chris, any chance of stores selling it for the mentioned price of 295 as in this deal?
        Also for PC do you still need heatsink version?
        Thanks in advance.

  • TheLowdog on 25/11/2024 - 10:30

    nm790 4tb with heatsink seems to be back to 399

    • AssociatedLexar ANZ Chris @ Lexar on 25/11/2024 - 20:14

      buy the no heatsink one while stock still last :D

  • steamerxander on 25/11/2024 - 13:58

    Hey @Lexar ANZ Chris, I was wondering if you could resume the discount on the Lexar NM790 4TB. I was planning to purchase it today, but the sale has already ended. On the website, it was mentioned that the sale would expire on December 8, 2024, but it seems to have ended early.

    • AssociatedLexar ANZ Chris @ Lexar on 25/11/2024 - 20:07

      There are other places selling at 299 currently, quite few store still have stock.
      But sure, I will make some arrangement to make sure there are more.
      give me few days to get it sorted.

      • steamerxander on 25/11/2024 - 20:10

        Thanks for your reply! I'm actually looking forward to the one with a heatsink. Others do have them but just with a thermal pad. I'd really appreciate if you are able to bring it back!! Thank you so much

        • AssociatedLexar ANZ Chris @ Lexar on 25/11/2024 - 20:13

          I don't think I have more heatsink versions, but most shops would have a nvme ssd heatsink for sell.

          • steamerxander on 25/11/2024 - 20:38

            @Lexar ANZ Chris: By the shop are you referring to the online platforms? Since I couldn't find any with a heatsink for the same price as it was on Mwave. If you are suggesting offline stores, could you please name a few that you know? Any info here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

            • AssociatedLexar ANZ Chris @ Lexar on 26/11/2024 - 18:04

              @steamerxander: At the time when I reply you, Metrocom still has some, so was BPC, and PCCG.
              now I am not so sure.

                    • steamerxander on 29/11/2024 - 10:29

                      @Ipodisclassic: BPC Tech has just got the stock in for Lexar NM790 4TB with Heatsink at $305. Pretty similar deal to Mwave! I've grabbed one.

                          @Ipodisclassic: Cheers mate! Why would you opt for a non heatsink version? Is there a particular reason? I'm new to understanding SSDs, so just curios haha

                          • Nom on 29/11/2024 - 11:21

                            @steamerxander: If you're putting it in a laptop, there won't be enough space for the heatsink. It makes the drive physically bigger.

                          • Ipodisclassic on 29/11/2024 - 14:26

                            @steamerxander: I already have the heatsink version in my ps5. However I’m buying this one to put in an NVME enclosure which has its own heatsink. So it’s easier to buy one without it. Plus slightly cheaper. Both are excellent drives. Fantastic price at 299.

        just got small quantity delivered today, you will see the last batch of back orders fulfilled.
        Mwave over sold and I bailed them out.

    • AssociatedLexar ANZ Chris @ Lexar on 10/12/2024 - 13:40

      there are a small batch of customers didn't get there stock because both distie and Mwave have over sold what is actually in Australia.
      But I have bailed them out and brought in additional stock at that price.
      Sorry for the wait, but it's not really my fault, but I gurantee you will get your order soonish, let me know if you didn't get them.

      • riff.79 on 10/12/2024 - 13:51

          And I will make sure every single person who ordered during BLF promo gets their stuff.

          The Heatsink version arrived already, if you havent get your stock, it's probably the NHS ones.
          Give it few more days, it will get there.
