**Testing the Lexar NM 620 SSD**

In order to test the Lexar NM 620 SSD, we decided to remove the sticker from the actual SSD inside our machine, as it provided valuable information on the manufacturer's logo and model number. This allowed us to accurately identify the specific model of the drive being tested.

**Testing Environment**

We set up a testing environment using a computer with the following specifications: Intel Core i7-9700KF processor, 16GB of memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, and the same machine with the same port used for all tests. The machine was not connected to the internet, ensuring that there were no variations in software versions or updates that could affect the test results.

**Crystal Disk Mark Test Results**

We began by running the Crystal Disk Mark test on the read speed of the Lexar NM 620 SSD. According to the results, the drive achieved a score of 3,376 megabits per second (Mbps). This was slightly behind the Samsung 970 Pro but significantly faster than other drives in its class, including the NM 610 by LXR.

**Actual Write Speeds**

We also tested the actual write speeds of the Lexar NM 620 SSD using the ATO (Aggregate Transfer Operation) test. The results showed that the drive achieved nearly 3,150 megabytes per second (MB/s), which was significantly faster than other drives in its class. In comparison, the Samsung 970 Pro achieved a score of around 2,200 MB/s and the LXR NM 610 achieved a slightly higher score.

**Temperature Results**

The Lexar NM 620 SSD also performed well in terms of temperature. We tested the drive's thermal performance using ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to 80°C. The results showed that the drive was able to maintain an average operating temperature of around 43°C, which is significantly lower than other drives in its class.

**Overall Performance**

Overall, the Lexar NM 620 SSD demonstrated excellent performance in our testing, with read speeds exceeding 3,000 Mbps and write speeds nearly matching the fastest drives in its class. The drive's ability to maintain low temperatures also made it an attractive option for applications that require high-performance storage. In comparison, other drives such as the Samsung 970 Pro and LXR NM 610 were slower, although still respectable performers.

**Conclusion**

The Lexar NM 620 SSD is a fast and reliable drive that is well-suited for applications that require high-performance storage. Its ability to achieve speeds of up to 3,000 Mbps on read and nearly 3,150 MB/s on write makes it an attractive option for users looking to upgrade their storage needs. With its low operating temperature and competitive pricing, the Lexar NM 620 SSD is a solid choice for anyone in the market for a fast and reliable SSD.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi everyone phil from tefertex here today we're going to be looking at this nvme based ssd from lexi it's the nm620 and it's got read speeds up to 3 300 megabytes per second and we've got links in the description just below if you're interested in purchasing before we go on to the main video if you would do us a favor click that like button subscribe click the bell as well that way you'll get notifications of new videos and live streams we do again doing all these things helps support the channel and helping to support the channel allows us to release more videos better quality videos and more content exclusively just for you okay let's go over the box and some of the basic specifications so we've got the alexa nm620 it's an m.22280 pcie gen 3 x 4 nvme ssd if that wasn't a mouthful well there's plenty of other numbers and stuff on the box as you can see you can see what the ssd looks like there i have a feeling there's actually going to be a sticker over that bit but we'll have a look when we open the box tells you it's megabytes per second on the read it doesn't mention anywhere on the box so not that i conceive unless the writing is that small what the right speed is luckily i've got thing called the internet and that tells me that the right speeds are slightly different per model which is actually quite common with ssds but it would be nice to mention that on the box with the different speeds depending on the size so if you've got a 256 gigabyte version of the drive the write speeds are 1 300 megabytes the 512 gigabyte version is 2400 the one terabyte and the 2 terabyte version both go up to 3 000 megabytes per second and a couple of the numbers you may want to know is also the total uh bytes written if you go for the 126 gigabytes it is 125 terabytes the 512 gigabyte version is 250 terabyte the one terabyte version has a tbw of 500 terabytes and the 2 terabyte version has 1 000 terabytes just so you know there are other info bits information in the description be it below if you're interested but let's have a look at the rest of the box so on the back of the box you can see here it shows you some more specifications again looks like from the way they've done the box is it's the same box they use for every single side they for every single size all they do is change the sticker on the top but i would like to see the actual write speed because actually the write speed is pretty good especially for the larger drives it'd be something to actually shout about when you don't include a write speed it puts me off and other people off because people don't always know what it's going to be in general if you don't include it it means it's going to be bad if it's good hey shout about it obviously you're not so it would be nice to include that on the back of the box and just put down in small writing in the bottom corner 256 gig version read speed write speed as this that and the other and so forth okay so this is what you've got in the box first of all you've got the plastic packaging which well you're probably not going to need after you've got the ssd out of the box you've got the ssd we'll look at closer in a few seconds you've got a manual person that would prefer to see a qr code that way you could get the latest information with all your different languages on their website by just scanning the qr code saves paper saves environment it also comes with a screw so if you ever need a good screw you've got one here the also a lot of ssds don't come with these screws which can be a bit of a pain because you may have lost the one what comes your motherboard so it's always good to have an extra screw so we've got that there it does come in a plastic bag as well you've got the drive itself as you can see it has got a sticker on the front which it doesn't show you that on the box i had a feeling it would i'm not sure if it says anything about warranty void if you've removed it i don't see any information about that so obviously if you are wanting to use it with a heatsink or something just be cautious some manufacturers do say don't remove them i don't see any warnings on there but i'm not saying it doesn't have it hidden somewhere in a manual on the back itself it's just plain not much to say personally i prefer those stickers on the back last thing i want to do when i look in my computer case to see some barcodes and recycle marks and all this that and the other on the actual ssd inside my machine so if any advice i'd give i'd say get rid of that sticker off of there but otherwise it looks pretty standard i'm going to peel the sticker off in a second just so you can actually see the chips on there and that way you'll know exactly who makes what but otherwise it's an ssd and we're going to give it a few tests in a few seconds just to see if it performs as good as it should so down to testing the full description of the machine we have used is in the description so if you want to read more about that feel free but in basics it's a 9700 kf processor 16gb of memory geforce 1060 graphics card all tests are done using the same machine we even use exactly the same port on the machine to do all the tests on top of that the machine is not connected to the internet so there is no different variations in the software so the software is exactly the same version for all the tests there's no windows updates installed there's no additional software installed on that specific machine so for the testing machine everything is identical for every single test we do okay so down to testing first of all we tested crystal disk mark on the read speed you can see the lexar results at the bottom of the chart we've got three thousand three hundred and seventy six megabits per second it was just behind the samsung 970 pro but it beat out all others on the graph including the nm 610 by lxr as well so it's definitely a lot faster than the 610 um the actual write speeds it actually came out the actual winner again this is a one terabyte version for comparing to some other different sizes but it got nearly 3 000 megabytes per second compared to the samsung which got close to 2200 and the other lexar just got a little bit faster than the samsung so reads a little bit down from the samsung but the right definitely a lot higher and this is basically the same tests using ato this time so the read speed we got 3150 just behind the samsung but a lot faster than for example than the corsa and the overlexar drive we tested a while back and this time we do ato tests on writing and as you can see here the samsung got 250 megabytes per second where the lexor got 2 810 it's nearly a third faster so that's pretty good and definitely a lot faster than the nm 610 and it's basically double the speed obviously depends on price what you can get hold of them for but if you've got the extra pennies and you can get it good for a good price the nm610 or should i say the nm 620 looks like an attractive price temperature wise we found the nm 620 running at 43 degrees on average for our testing which is pretty good which was a lot cooler than the samsung and even actually cooler than the alexa nm 610 so overall we've got a very fast drive especially on the right speeds it's something they should be shouting on the boxes that they do up to 3 000 on the right a lot of manufacturers say they can get that high but they don't actually get that high or in this case they do so they really need to shout out about that so it's a very fast drive ideal for using for an operating system or if you want fast storage let's just say you do something like we do like premiere pro having a storage drive where you're editing material on something of that speed is a real bonus it speeds things up makes things a lot smoother a lot better brilliant drives so you can use these in obviously laptops pcs whatever you really want to and again the nm 620 is brilliant speeds again depends on what price you can get holder it for but even the same that the nm610 the older model which is roughly half the speeds in some cases um but it's still a good price if you can get hold of it and it still gives you a lot better performance than a traditional sata based ssd and it's well no comparison against a hard drive let's put it that way so if you're still using hard drives you really think need to start looking at using ssds especially if you're using storage what needs to be used a lot needs to be fast ssd is the way to go so i highly recommend this
