Internal SSDs are a fairly new venture for Lexar, but we’re pleased to report their efforts in this field have left us impressed.
We found NM700 to be a solid M.2 SSD which is able to deliver some good numbers in terms of sequential read/write and IOPS. This drive provided us with some consistent results right across the board when up against the competition. Putting such a drive next to a SATA-based SSD will highlight the substantial benefits to moving over to a PCI-Express Gen3 x4 option. The performance increase is significant and is a worthwhile consideration for enthusiasts wanting to tap into more efficient workflow.
The NM700 should be available to buy soon and will arrive in 128GB through to 1TB capacities. Our 1TB model will be available for £190 GBP and $200 USD. This pricing puts it in line with other rival storage drives, however it should be noted that Lexar provide a 5-year warranty which should sweeten the deal considerably.
Backed by impressive transfer rates, the NM700 is a lightning quick storage solution that is definitely worth considering!
