ADATA Legend 710 256GB M.2 NVMe Gen3 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

The ADATA Legend 710 256GB (model ALEG-710-256GCS) is an M.2 2280 form-factor internal solid-state drive built on a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 protocol support. Designed for desktop PCs and laptops using Intel or AMD platforms, it slots into any standard M.2 2280 slot and delivers a meaningful performance upgrade over traditional SATA drives. Sequential read speeds reach up to 2,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds reach up to 1,600 MB/s, making it well suited for everyday productivity, photo and video editing, and multitasking workloads. SLC caching and Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology help sustain throughput during extended read/write operations by leveraging available system DRAM, reducing latency and improving responsiveness. The Legend 710 features an understated heat sink finished in blue with gold trim accents. According to ADATA, the heat sink reduces operating temperatures by up to 15% compared to operation without it — dimensions with the heat sink are 80 x 22 x 3.13 mm, and without it 80 x 22 x 2.15 mm. The drive weighs 9 g with the heat sink and 6.2 g without. Data integrity is handled by hardware LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) ECC technology, which detects and corrects errors in real time. AES 256-bit encryption support adds a layer of security for sensitive files. The drive is rated for shock resistance of 1,500 G at 0.5 ms, an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, and a storage temperature range of −40°C to 85°C. Reliability figures include a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1,500,000 hours and a total bytes written (TBW) endurance rating of 520 TB. The Legend 710 256GB is backed by a 3-year limited warranty. ADATA also bundles free SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility software to simplify drive management and data transfer.
