Adata Legend 960 Max 2TB NVMe Gen4 SSD

The ADATA Legend 960 MAX 2TB (model ALEG-960M-2TCS) is a high-performance M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive built on the PCIe Gen4 x4 interface and conforming to the NVMe 1.4 standard. Designed for content creators, gamers, and power users who demand consistent throughput, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,800 MB/s. Random 4KB read performance reaches up to 750,000 IOPS, while random 4KB write performance reaches up to 630,000 IOPS, making it well suited for workloads involving large media files, fast game loading, and data-intensive creative applications. The drive ships with an aluminum alloy heatsink that incorporates multi-layered cooling fins. This convection cooling design channels airflow along the metal casing to help manage thermal output during sustained workloads. The heatsink-equipped drive measures 80.6 × 23.2 × 10.65 mm and weighs 36.6 g; without the heatsink, dimensions are 80 × 22 × 3.3 mm at 7.3 g, allowing flexible installation in space-constrained environments such as PlayStation 5 consoles, where the M.2 slot dimensions are compatible. Storage reliability is underpinned by a rated MTBF of 1,500,000 hours, a total bytes written (TBW) endurance rating of 1,560 TB, and shock resistance of 1,500 G at 0.5 ms. The drive operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and is rated for storage between −40 °C and 85 °C. The SMI SM2264 controller manages data flow across the 3D NAND flash array. The Legend 960 MAX is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots and is compatible with current Intel and AMD platforms. ADATA backs the drive with a 5-year limited warranty.
