ADATA Legend 960 Max 4TB M.2 NVME Gen4 Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The ADATA Legend 960 Max 4TB (Model: ALEG-960M-4TCS) 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. Designed for content creators, power users, and gaming enthusiasts who demand fast, reliable storage, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,800 MB/s on PC and laptop platforms. On PS5 consoles, sequential read speeds reach up to 6,400 MB/s, making it a compatible upgrade for PlayStation 5 expanded storage. The Legend 960 Max uses SLC Caching and a DRAM Cache Buffer to accelerate system loading and data caching tasks. For multitasking and workloads that demand rapid small-file access, it delivers 4K random read performance of up to 750,000 IOPS and 4K random write performance of up to 630,000 IOPS. Thermal management is handled by an included aluminum alloy heatsink with multi-layered cooling fins. The finned convection design channels airflow across the drive surface to dissipate heat efficiently, helping the drive sustain consistent performance under sustained read/write loads. The drive is compatible with both Intel and AMD platforms that support PCIe Gen4, and it is backward compatible with PCIe Gen3 slots. With a rated endurance of 3,120 TBW (Terabytes Written) and an MTBF of 2,000,000 hours, the Legend 960 Max is engineered for long-term reliability in demanding workloads. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and can be stored safely between -40°C and 85°C. Shock resistance is rated at 1,500G/0.5ms.
