After the turbulent 90s and turbulent 2000s, the American memory manufacturer Lexar experienced several ups and downs, found shelter under the wing of Micron, then almost went bankrupt and was reborn under the wing of the Longsys concern. At the beginning of this decade, the company completely updated its range of RAM, introducing 3 new series of RAM, named after the Greek and Scandinavian gods: Hades, Ares and Thor. And if the Lexar Thor and Ares lines are aimed more at video game fans, then Hades memory modules, in addition to gamers, can be used by designers, animators, AI specialists and other creatives.


Despite the popularization of DDR5 memory, the Hades line remains the only series in the company's range that has not yet been updated. At the beginning of 2024, the series lineup includes only the most common layouts for DDR4 gaming memory. As a rule, these are single modules and paired sets with a capacity of 8 to 32 GB, operating at a frequency of 3200/3600 MHz with CL16/18 timings and voltage from 1.2 to 1.35 V. In all cases, support for Intel XMP 2.0 technology is declared, which simplifies the setup process and memory optimization for casual users.

Considering the popularization of computer cases with transparent side walls and replaceable glass panels, the manufacturer has released a limited edition of Hades modules with RGB backlighting. Moreover, the manufacturer did not change the successful design of the original modules and simply installed a neat comb with LEDs in the upper part of the radiator. Conveniently, the backlight can be synchronized with other RGB components, since the manufacturer has provided support for all the most popular RGB complexes, including Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASRock Polychrome RGB.
