In our read-throughput test, the drive peaked at the end of the test at 6,040MB/s, some 1,360MB/s short of the official maximum figure of 7,400MB/s.

Even though the peak test result figure of 6,040MB/s is well short of the official maximum for the drive, that peak result is good enough to make the NM790 the fastest Gen4 drive we've tested to date.

In the write throughput tests the drive peaked at the end of the test run at 6,120.60MB/s, some 380MB/s short of the official maximum of 6,500MB/s.

The test result of 6,120MB/s makes the drive the third fastest Gen4 drive we have seen in this particular test behind Kingston's KC3000 and MSI's Spatium M480.
