Lexar NM610 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD Review @ CDRLabs.com

“Lexar's NM610 SSD is an excellent choice for the PC enthusiast looking for an easy and affordable way to increase the performance and storage capacity of their desktop or notebook computer. This compact, M.2 form factor SSD is powered by Silicon Motion's SM2263XT controller and is available with up to 1TB of Intel's 64-layer TLC 3D NAND flash. Combine this with a PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface and you have a reasonably priced drive capable of delivering up to 3.5x the speed of your average SATA 6Gb/s SSD. In our sequential read and write tests, the 1TB version of the NM610 was able to read at speeds as high as 2,101 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 1,688 MB/s. It also did relatively well in our random write tests, producing more than 141,000 IOPS at low queue depths.”
