Box contents Lexar Thor Pro 1TB NVMe SSD

Notes & compatibility tips

  • Performance may vary by hardware revision: different controller or NAND batches can change peak and sustained speeds. Independent spec databases report some Lexar Thor Pro variants with higher sequential figures (up to 7000/5500 MB/s) — check vendor/retailer listing for the exact SKU you buy.
  • Because the drive can run hot during sustained Gen4 transfers, some motherboards or PS5 installations may benefit from a dedicated M.2 heatsink — the Thor Pro is single-sided but consult your case/motherboard clearance before purchase.
  • Use Lexar DiskMaster or your preferred SSD utility to update firmware and monitor health. Always backup important data before firmware updates or large transfers.

Includes: 1 × Lexar Thor Pro 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD.
