The Lexar NM620 512GB is a PCIe Gen3×4 NVMe 1.4 SSD in the M.2 2280 form factor. It delivers significantly faster performance than traditional SATA SSDs — making it ideal for faster boot‑ups, quicker app loading, responsive system performance, and smoother gaming or creative workflows.
This drive uses 3D TLC NAND flash and NVMe protocol to boost speed and efficiency, while features like LDPC error correction help improve reliability and data integrity over time.
It’s also shock and vibration resistant (no moving parts), consumes low power, and runs cooler compared to mechanical storage — which contributes to durability and efficiency.
