One drive full means a second drive on the way and another week of waiting. The Lexar NM990 2TB gives you double the headroom in the same M.2 2280 slot, with sequential read at 14,000 MB/s and write climbing to 10,000 MB/s. Random performance pushes to 2,000K IOPs read and 1,400K IOPs write, so multitasking across a big project folder doesn't stutter. Rated at 1,500 TBW with a 5-year limited warranty, it's sized for the person who fills a 1TB drive before the fiscal year ends. Needs a PCIe Gen 5 x4 slot to run at full speed
