Lexar NS100 LNS100-1TRB 1 TB

A capacious, moderately fast SSD drive of 2021, equipped with a SATA 3 interface and 3D TLC NAND flash memory. It is part of the universal consumer Lexar NS series, which, according to the manufacturer, provides an optimal balance between cost, operating speed and reliability of data storage. It is positioned as a universal solution for the role of the main storage device, a gaming library or working with author's content.

Thanks to the 2.5" form factor and support for the widely used SATA 3 interface, the drive is ideal for upgrading PCs and laptops that do not support the M.2 format and NVMe protocol. The manufacturer's stated read speed reaches 550 MB/s, which is almost 5 times faster than classic hard drives. This ensures, although not a record, but still quite fast loading of the operating system, browsers with a large number of cached tabs, resource-intensive professional applications and modern games. The manufacturer provides a 3-year warranty, and the mean time between failures is 512 TB. This is quite enough for everyday home use, but may not be enough for a workstation where tens of gigabytes of audio or video materials are rewritten daily.
