Review: My experience so far, 10 months later - I bought the Lexar NQ790 1TB SSD in October 2024, and after 10 months of daily gaming, it’s been flawless. Zero issues—games load incredibly fast, and read speeds are exactly what I need. I run Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, League of Legends, Valorant, and Yakuza: Like a Pirate directly from it, all with smooth performance and quick boots. If I have one regret, it’s not going for the 2TB version. Modern game sizes are massive, and 1TB fills up faster than expected. Today, the SSD market is cheaper, and Lexar’s EQ range offers similar performance for less, so current buyers have great options. Bottom line: For speed, stability, and reliability in a gaming rig, the NQ790 1TB delivers. Just buy more storage than you think you’ll need—you’ll thank yourself later!
Review: Not the fastest but nonetheless perfectly fine. - I'm trying to amalgamate my storage and I have a few 1TB external NVME's - but having several draws more power externally which causes USB issues (it resets the controller and makes you wonder if you can't power 10 devices, why put 10 USB ports there!!! That's a rant for another day). So a 4TB seems a good idea - I can remove 2 or 3 for this one and draw less power (even though I have 3 USB hubs!!!). I also have a 2TB of the exact same type which I use for my boot/OS disk hence the title. Fitting the NVME isn't an issue, it's the same as any other. My motherboard(s) have heatsinks and this doesn't ship with one so that's all fine and the external enclosures are their own heatsinks - I just added a thermal pad for obvious reasons. Partitioning and formatting are the same for any disk and transferring the files from one to another was fine with speeds of around 400MB/S - it's external, running off a same controller via USB, I don't need 7GB/s here. BUT - as the title says - it's not the fastest in use (I'm using real usage over benchmarks) - that honour goes to my WD Black SN850X. I have multiple PC's and have moved bits about left and right and the WD is the fastest booting (by a fair margin), the Seagate CUDA is second and this is in last place (the 2TB not the 4TB which is external). Don't get me wrong - it still boots plenty fast enough, it just is noticeably slower compared to those two. But if you're looking for a second disk for gaming storage or just photo's/music etc, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Value and Performance for Gaming Laptops
*by M***S on 6 July 2025*

Bought for my Legion laptop, as the default 1TB just isn't quite enough for modern gaming titles. I'm extremely pleased with this upgrade. Running CrystalDiskMark tests, this drive consistently achieved the expected read and write speeds, confirming its strong performance. More importantly, it's been exceptionally reliable over the year I've been using it, without any issues or concerns. Games load extremely fast, significantly cutting down on wait times, and the 2TB capacity provides plenty of space for all the demanding titles I like to play on the go. Considering its performance and reliability, this is a pretty good value SSD as well.
