ADATA Legend 860 1TB M.2 NVME Gen4 Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The ADATA Legend 860 is a high-performance M.2 2280 form factor solid state drive built on the PCIe Gen4 x4 interface, delivering sequential read speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 4,000 MB/s. Compliant with the NVMe 2.0 specification, it brings substantial bandwidth to desktops and laptops equipped with a compatible PCIe Gen4 slot, as well as to Intel and AMD platforms that support the standard. For console users, the Legend 860 is compatible with the PlayStation 5 expansion slot, providing a read speed of up to 5,000 MB/s within that ecosystem — well above Sony's recommended threshold for smooth loading. The drive ships without an integrated heatsink, so PS5 users should verify heatsink clearance or add a compatible third-party cooler before installation. On the reliability side, ADATA incorporates SLC caching to sustain write bursts over larger file transfers, while advanced hardware LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) ECC technology helps protect stored data from bit errors over the drive's lifespan. Host Memory Buffer (HMB) support allows the controller to leverage a portion of system DRAM in place of dedicated DRAM on the drive, optimising random access performance without added component cost. ADATA bundles the SSD Toolbox utility, enabling users to monitor drive health, manage over-provisioning, and run secure erase functions from within Windows.
