Lexar Professional NM800PRO PCIe SSD for PS5 storage expansion

(Image credit: Lexar)

PlayStation5 owners just got a great new upgrade option for SSD storage expansion. And it comes from none other than top-end memory-maker (just, er, not likethat): Lexar.

The photo above is that of the Lexar Professional NM800PRO, a PCIe M.2 SSD that’s available with heatsink (and without, if you’re looking for PC instead) that’s an ideal upgrade option for PS5 storage expansion.

But Lexar might have just one-upped Western Digital, because the NM800PRO offers a 7500MB/s read and 6500MB/s write speed. That betters the WD SN850’s respective  7000MB/s read and 5300MB/s write speeds.

Okay, I know that nobody knows the official PS5 internal read-write speed of theSonyconsole’s internal drive, but the speculation is that the motherboard can more than take it and that, actually, running games from an internal SSD upgrade north of 5500MB/s will effectively upgrade your PS5’s capabilities (I’m yet to explicitly test this, but look forward to the ultra-geek who does do this – I will be avidly watching!).
