Lexar

Lexar states five years

One Lexar drive here

The EQ790 1 TB, a PCIe Gen 4 ×4 NVMe 1.4 drive in the M.2 2280 length.

What the page states

Both sequential figures in the title — up to 7,000 MB/s reading and 6,000 MB/s writing — HMB and SLC cache technologies, PlayStation 5 compatibility and a limited five-year manufacturer warranty, the longest on the NVMe shelf.

What it leaves out

No TBW rating, so the five years have no written endurance figure to be measured against, and no heat sink, which the PS5 asks for. Amazon.com listed the EQ790 on October 26, 2026, without a current offer that passed our price check.

Against the other Gen 4 drives here

The Crucial P310 reads 100 MB/s faster at the same 6,000 MB/s write and names the handhelds it was tested with; the Samsung 990 states three years and a random write figure; the KingSpec XG7000 states 600 TBW and three years. None of them states five years. That is the EQ790’s single clear advantage on the shelf, and the reason to wait for an offer rather than settle for a shorter term.
