DiskBench

With DiskBench we place a 50GB single file onto the test drive. We copy this file from the test drive to a new folder on the test drive, volume to volume. This tests the performance of the drive’s ability to copy a single large file from itself to itself as if you were copying files on the same drive, it replicates this drive being your primary and only drive. Results are in duration Seconds, lower is better.

Copying a large 50GB file from volume to volume the new Lexar NM710 1TB does a phenomenal job, at only 15.8 seconds it is much faster than every other SSD on this graph and has the best time. It is much faster than the PATRIOT VIPER VPR400, by a good deal, a time you’d notice in the real-world. It’s also faster than the CORSAIR Force MP600, which was the fastest previously.

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker Benchmark

The Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker Benchmark is a unique game benchmark that allows us to objectively calculate the load times of different game scenes loading on the SSD. This benchmark runs multiple scenes that it benchmarks, it also keeps track of the scene load times for each scene and reports a duration, in addition, it provides an overall average duration of all the scenes together. This provides consistency in testing. We report the overall average scene load time of all the scenes in seconds, lower is better.

In file game loading, the Lexar NM710 1TB does extremely well once again. It has a faster load time than the MSI SPATIUM M470, CORSAIR Force MP600, and Sabrent Rocket. It is practically as fast as the PATRIOT VIPER VPR400 load times.

ATTO

Lexar NM710 1TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD ATTO

In ATTO the Lexar NM710 1TB performed at 4.78GB/s and is below in performance, compared to the other SSDs. However, it does extremely well in write performance at 4.12GB/s it is second in performance only to the PATRIOT VIPER VPR400. The consistency between file sizes is also consistent.

SUMMARY

We reviewed the Lexar NM710 1TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD, which is a value-oriented SSD from Lexar, as a DRAM-less SSD with 3D TLC NAND Flash and the Maxio MAP1602 controller. It offers top-tier 5000MB/s Gen4 performance in its class, and has competitive performance. For the right price, this SSD offers a great upgrade from older SSDs, in a slim and compact formfactor that can squeeze into compact builds.
