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

The ADATA Legend 960 Max 2TB is a high-performance PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe solid state drive built for content creators, gamers, and PC enthusiasts who demand the most from their storage. Using the M.2 2280 form factor, it slots seamlessly into desktop motherboards, laptops, and even the PlayStation 5 as an officially supported expanded-storage upgrade. At the heart of the Legend 960 Max is the SMI SM2264 controller paired with 3D NAND flash and a DRAM cache buffer, enabling sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s on PC and laptop platforms, and sequential write speeds of up to 6,800 MB/s. For random workloads, the drive delivers up to 750K IOPS read and 630K IOPS write, keeping multitasking fluid even under sustained pressure. SLC caching further boosts burst performance for everyday tasks like system boot and application loading. Thermal management is handled by an included aluminum alloy heatsink featuring multi-layered cooling fins. The convection design channels cool air across the drive surface and expels heat efficiently, helping the drive maintain stable throughput during extended sessions. The drive operates reliably between 0°C and 70°C. Data integrity is protected through LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) error-correction technology and AES 256-bit hardware encryption, ensuring both accuracy and file-level security. The ADATA SSD Toolbox utility provides S.M.A.R.T. health monitoring, temperature tracking, capacity reporting, and firmware update management.
