ADATA Legend 960 2TB M.2 NVME Gen4 Internal Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The ADATA Legend 960 2TB is a high-performance M.2 2280 NVMe solid state drive built on the PCIe Gen4 x4 interface and compliant with the NVMe 1.4 standard. Powered by the Silicon Motion SMI SM2264 controller and 3D NAND flash memory, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,000 MB/s, making it well suited for content creation, game loading, and data-intensive workloads on both desktop and notebook platforms. For users who need responsive multitasking, the drive achieves 4K random read performance of up to 750,000 IOPS and 4K random write performance of up to 630,000 IOPS. SLC caching and a DRAM cache buffer help sustain throughput during burst workloads. The drive is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots and is also compatible with PS5 consoles as expanded storage, thanks to its PCIe 4.0 support and M.2 2280 form factor. The included heatsink features a black finish with bronzing trim and sandblasted surfaces. With the heatsink attached, dimensions measure 80 × 22 × 4.68 mm and weight is 11 g; without the heatsink, dimensions are 80 × 22 × 3.38 mm and weight drops to 8 g. Data integrity is protected by LDPC (Low Density Parity Check Code) error correction, and AES 256-bit hardware encryption keeps files secure. The drive supports S.M.A.R.T. monitoring via the ADATA SSD Toolbox utility.
