    Are these used only for desktop? Or can they fit laptop? Does the heat sink take up too much space?

      Desktop only. Can't use this with a laptop. Also this is expensive compared to alternatives for laptops and even desktops.

      Also Chinese DRAM with sus reliability

        I can't vouch for the Dram , do you have a link?
        What alternatives can you find cheaper?

        the specs I can find https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/lexar-nm1090-pro-2-tb.…

          thats the PRO version… this is the non pro version, with slower sequential speeds..

          Non pro
          "Twice as Fast as PCIe 4.0: PCIe 5.0 speeds of up to 12,000MB/s read, 11,000MB/s write deliver cutting-edge performance."

          Pro version
          https://au.pcmag.com/ssds/111172/lexar-professional-nm1090-p…
          14000MBps/13000Mps

          Unless there is no - non pro version….

          There's nothing around to confirm this is TLC or DRAM on the non pro version..

            @Kelvin: I think techpowerup printed pro by mistake , I can only find heatsink version as the slightly slower speed that they list in the specs

            @Kelvin: Micron B58R is TLC

            @Mudcrab Merchant: Nice find…
            Seems this runs really really hot.. and is slow compared to the other Gen 5 drives but does have DRAM cache..
            TLC based though it appears.

            I can confirm there are definitely two different models a pro and non pro…
            Review of the pro shows the model number LNM1090P004T-RNNNG (see picture)

            SM controller with Micron TLC flash

            The amazon prodcut ID is
            LNM1090002T-RNANG
            (Note no P in the ID)
            the review posted above shows a different controller and flash.
            Phison controller and slower NY181 Micron B58R flash

              @Kelvin: Also appears the 1tb can be alot slower than the 2tb ,.. up to 68% slower than the 2tb driver in the PCMARK 10 consistency tests.

              "The 2TB drive is one of the warmest Phison E26 drives we tested; Only the fully passively cooled models are warmer. Too bad, because it looks nice, with that argb ring incorporated in the heatsink. The cooling cannot prevent the notorious hothead from doing thermal throttling in this case as well"

            @Mudcrab Merchant: That’s a blast from the past. Great site for pricing parts in the Netherlands.

        Thanks

      • the1doood on 21/09/2025 - 10:53

        Are there any cheaper alternatives to be used a external data storage via USB enclosure? I believe speed wise it would be capped by USB, so very high speed isn't necessary.

        I need a new SSD for my ageing ASUS laptop, it supports PCIE 3.0 2280. What would be a good OzBargain choice?

    • Rubber Duck on 21/09/2025 - 10:05

      Not sure how big heatsink is as I just ordered mine but I would say these are aimed at desktop

      • chinaman on 21/09/2025 - 10:27

        Thanks

        Not many desktops with NVME 5x4, except maybe Asrock B860 Desktops, sadly not availalbe in Australia

        • Rubber Duck on 21/09/2025 - 11:15

          basically any AM5 board will support this at rated speed

            @Rubber Duck: Sure, but retail PCS?
            Not all of us build from scratch

              @glyptothek: The ASUS TUF GAMING B650EM-E WIFI found in the following recent prebuilt PC postings offers 1 M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 slot, dependent on CPU.

                @stebie: aka hardly any, maybe a custom prebuilt PC from a local computer store
                What about a mainstream PC manufacturer eg Asus HP Acer, Lenovo, MS,I Asrock - compared with literally hundreds and hundred of PCS/miniPC with Pcie 4x4 M2 slots

                • netsurfer on 21/09/2025 - 22:47

                  @glyptothek: Just google and found one right away:

                  Alienware Area-51 Gaming Desktop. 1 TB M.2 Gen5 PCIe NVMe SSD is standard. Just need to check for PCs targeting people with deep pockets.

                  SSDs aren't that expensive nowadays (compared to GPU). There is the Asus board with really lousy VRM but has PCIe gen5 m.2 support: Asus B650M-AYW WIFI AM5 $129 - that board has no BIOS flashback so it is designed mostly for local retail PC stores (cheap motherboard to throw in as part of the system package).
