FAQ

The NM620 1Tb has no Dynamic Random-Access Memory or data about it is unknown. Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) makes SSD faster, but also more expensive.

The NM620 1Tb due to the low density of memory chips able to work with no further heat sinks. Some laptops or motherboards already has additional cooling below and above the storage for better performance during times of high loads.

The Lexar NM620 has maximum write speed 3000 Mb/s, sequential read speed 3300 Mb/s. It works on Lexar DM620 controller and M.2 3.0 x 4 interface standard. The NAND flash memory type is 3D TLC.
