ADATA has introduced its first PCIe 5.0 SSD, the Legend 970. The LEGEND 970 adopts a PCIe Gen 5 x4 transmission interface, complies with the NVMe 2.0 standard to deliver amazing read and write capabilities. The LEGEND 970 also supports the latest Intel and AMD platforms. Whether in dynamic or static output, it always provides full performance. The technology behind the LEGEND 970 features a unique double-layer aluminum alloy heatsink that features a built-in micro-fan and surface crystallization to form a patented active air-cooling system This innovative cooling system ensures that the SSD operates at an optimal temperature, which in turn enhances its lifespan and overall performance.
Adata’s Legend 970 drives come in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities and are rated for an up to 10,000 MB/s sequential read/write speed as well as a 1.4 million random read/write IOPS, performance levels in line with those of many current-generation enterprise-grade SSDs. The drives fully support all modern SSD technologies that one comes to expect from a contemporary drive, including SLC cache, Low Density Parity Check Code (LDPC) error correction, and AES 256-bit high-level encryption.The LEGEND 970 is no casual beast as it can reach up to 10GB/s reads and writes utilizing PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. Then have fun grabbing one of these and using it now through the backward-compatible PCIe 4.0 / PCIe 3.0 speeds. The SLC cache algorithm and DRAM cache buffer contributes to great sustained speeds while random IOPS performance reaches 1,400K ins and outs easily. The use of 232-layer 3D flash memory means that the drive can be offered in sizes of up to 2TB. Together with a variety of longevity-related technologies, the Total Bytes Written (TBW) and durability are better than most players in the market. The LEGEND 970 is compatible with the latest Intel and AMD platforms and its patented heatsink design ensures stable high performance long-term operation regardless of the complexity of output, whether 3D animation, game development, or virtual visualization.
