Adata Legend 960 Max 4TB NVMe Gen4 SSD

The ADATA Legend 960 Max 4TB 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, PC builders, and console enthusiasts who demand both speed and ample storage, it delivers sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6,800 MB/s — figures that reflect a substantial step up over PCIe Gen3 drives and a dramatic improvement over traditional SATA SSDs. The drive is fitted with an aluminium-alloy finned heatsink that covers the full length of the M.2 module. The multi-layered fin arrangement promotes convection airflow, drawing cool air across the surface and expelling heat efficiently. According to ADATA's published specifications, this cooling design can reduce drive operating temperature by up to 40%, which helps sustain consistent throughput during extended read/write sessions — an important consideration when handling large video files, 3D project assets, or game installations. At the NAND level, the Legend 960 Max uses 3D NAND flash paired with an SLC caching layer and a DRAM cache buffer, enabling 4K random read performance of up to 750,000 IOPS and 4K random write performance of up to 630,000 IOPS. These figures translate to snappier system boots, faster application launches, and smoother multitasking across demanding workloads. With 4TB of usable capacity, the drive is compatible with the PS5 as an expansion storage device (the console's M.2 slot accepts the 2280 form factor and PCIe Gen4 interface), letting you store a large library of titles without frequently uninstalling games. It also supports current Intel and AMD desktop and laptop platforms with PCIe Gen4 capability, and remains backward-compatible with PCIe Gen3 slots. ADATA backs the Legend 960 Max 4TB with a 5-year warranty and rates it for 3,120 TBW (terabytes written), providing a meaningful durability baseline for write-intensive creative and professional workflows.
