What the Lexar NM790 offers for the PS5

The NM790 is the go-to when value per terabyte leads. Despite being DRAM-less it is quick, comfortably above the 5,500 MB/s requirement, and the heatsink version drops into the bay cleanly.

It often tops the GBP/TB ranking, so if you want the most capacity for the least money from a recognised brand, it is usually the drive to beat in the table.
