Lexar has launched the NF100 series, a 2.5 inch SATA III solid state drive designed for legacy PC upgrades. The drive offers storage capacities up to 1TB with sequential read speeds capping out at 500MB per second. Retail listings in china currently show the 250GB model priced at 355 yuan (approx. $50 USD).
Constructed in the standard 2.5 inch 7mm form factor, the NF100 is tailored for older laptops and desktop systems looking to replace traditional mechanical hard drives. Lexar offers 4 storage sizes including 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB. Across all variants, sequential read speeds hit 500MB per second, delivering standard SATA throughput for daily computing tasks and quick operating system boot times.
Endurance ratings scale directly with drive capacity. The 120GB version handles 42TB of total write traffic, while the 250GB model increases that figure to 84TB. For larger systems, the 500GB capacity provides 168TB of write endurance, and the 1TB option tops out at 336TB.
Warranty terms show an interesting split between regions. Official international documentation lists a 2 year warranty period for global buyers. However, listings on domestic Chinese retail platforms specify a 3 year coverage window for local customers.
Pricing in the Chinese domestic market starts at 355 yuan (approx. $50 USD) for the 250GB edition, while the 500GB version sells for 625 yuan (approx. $88 USD). Pricing details for the 120GB and 1TB models remain unlisted on primary store fronts for now. This pricing structure positions the drive as an accessible solution for straightforward storage expansion without requiring modern PCIe motherboard slots.
