Lexar Promotes High-Speed PCIe Gen4 SSD NM790 Series for PS5® Storage Expansion

SUNEAST Co., Ltd. (brand name: SUNEAST), the exclusive distributor in Japan, is pleased to recommend the Lexar NM790 Series PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs as an ideal solution for expanding storage on the PlayStation®5 (PS5®).

In November 2026, the highly anticipated major title 'Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA6)' is scheduled for global release, prompting many users to reevaluate their PS5's storage capacity.

Recent game titles, with increasingly realistic graphics and expansive open-world environments, require significantly larger installation sizes each year. With frequent major updates and downloadable content, it's now common for a single game to exceed 100GB.

Moreover, media outlets and gaming communities have highlighted that 'Grand Theft Auto VI' is expected to be a high-capacity title, emphasizing the importance of sufficient storage space—driving growing interest among users in upgrading their SSDs even before the game's release.

However, many PS5 users still assume that the console's built-in storage is sufficient.

Yet, repeatedly installing new titles often leads to storage-related challenges such as:

• Deleting games currently in progress

• Re-downloading games when needed

• Inability to install large updates due to insufficient space

The PS5 supports storage expansion by adding an M.2 NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen4 x4) with a sequential read speed of at least 5,500MB/s.

The Lexar NM790 Series meets these PS5-recommended specifications, delivering high performance and ample storage capacity to comfortably store and manage large games.

Benefits of upgrading to a high-capacity SSD:

• Keep large games installed without deletion

• Reduce time spent re-downloading games

• Easily handle large updates

• Store multiple digital games simultaneously

• Confidently save screenshots and gameplay videos

The NM790 Series supports PCIe Gen4 x4, enabling fast data transfer speeds. It's ideal not only for PS5 storage expansion but also for upgrading gaming PCs.

Additionally, models equipped with a heatsink are well-suited for installation in the PS5, providing stable thermal performance even under heavy workloads.

For those who think "current capacity is still sufficient"

Even if your built-in storage feels adequate today, continuous releases of large games, ongoing updates, and purchases of digital titles will consume space faster than expected.

Especially for users planning to play multiple upcoming major titles, upgrading storage in advance can significantly reduce the hassle of deleting and re-downloading games, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience over the long term.

Considering not just the initial cost, but also the time saved from avoiding re-downloads and the effort of storage management, upgrading to a fast, high-capacity SSD is a smart investment for a more comfortable gaming future.

SUNEAST Co., Ltd. will continue to support gamers with high-performance storage solutions for an enhanced gaming experience.
