Conclusion

NM610 (1Tb) produced by Lexar use previous bus standard that is twice slower than PCIe 4. The sequential write speed is 1600 Mbps, that is slower than has most of competitors. The Lexar NM610 provide possibility to write 375 TBW, that is bad in comparison with nearest competitors. Weighing all these factors, Lexar NM610 1Tb has more disadvantages and we highly do not advise to buy it.
