In our read-throughput test, the drive peaked at the end of the test at 6,029MB/s, some 1,371MB/s short of the official maximum figure of 7,400MB/s.
Even though the peak test result figure of 6,029MB/s is well short of the official maximum for the drive, the result is good enough to make the NM790 with Heatsink the second fastest Gen4 drive we've tested to date, behind the standard NM790.
In the write throughput tests the drive peaked at the end of the test run at 6,121.84MB/s, some 379MB/s short of the official maximum of 6,500MB/s.
The test result of 6,121MB/s makes the drive the fourth fastest Gen4 drive we have seen in this particular test behind Kingston's KC3000, MSI's Spatium M480 and Crucial's T500.
