Lexar Professional NM1090 PRO 2TB, M.2 2280 / M-Key / PCIe 5.0 x4

Die Lexar NM1090 PRO ist eine hervorragende und auch generell empfehlenswerte SSD. So bietet sie eine hohe Leistung, ohne die großen negativen Punkte bisheriger PCIe 5.0 SSDs. Die NM1090 PRO setzt sich im Schnitt vor alle PCIe 4.0 SSDs und zwischen die Samsung 9100 PRO und die Crucial T700. Besonders positiv ist hier die hohe Leistung der SSD nach dem SLC Cache anzumerken. So hat diese die höchste konstante Schreibrate aller bisher getesteten 2 TB SSDs.

Although it took some time for NAND controller manufacturers to resolve temperature related issues 2nd generation PCIe Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSDs have been slowly filling the market and even though most of them offer impressive read & write performance competition is always good for the end user. A few months back Lexar also released their NM1090 Pro Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSD and today I'm testing the 2TB capacity.

Lexar has made a name for itself in the portable storage market—they are deservedly well known for SD cards and USB drives, so it's natural for them to expand into other areas of flash storage, like consumer SSDs. Lexar was founded as a subsidiary of Micron, but was sold to Longsys in 2017 and has been operating independently since.

The Lexar brand has been around for some time, and in fact, our first mention of Lexar goes all the way back to one of our first Storage Visions meetings in Las Vegas some 14 years ago. Lexar was originally a Micron brand but was acquired by Longsys Electronics in 2017 and Longsys has built on that brand name since, bringing us to our Lexar Professional NM1080 Pro Gen5 SSD report today. They remain to be a storage company primarily, bringing with them a strong reputation and following for enthusiast and media professional storage.

Lexar’s NM1090 PRO delivers strong Gen5 SSD performance, DirectStorage support, and top-tier value for gamers and creators alike.
