The Adata Legend 960 SSD hard drive is aimed at users who desire high performance and storage speed for their computer. SSDs are a faster and more reliable alternative compared to traditional hard drives (HDD), as they use flash memory technology to store data instead of the moving mechanical disks of HDDs.

  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Description

The Adata Legend 960 SSD hard drive is aimed at users who desire high performance and storage speed for their computer. SSDs are a faster and more reliable alternative compared to traditional hard drives (HDD), as they use flash memory technology to store data instead of the moving mechanical disks of HDDs.

Redefining the Speed of Creativity

The Legend 960 supports the latest PCIe Gen4 x4 interface, which complies with the NVMe 1.4 standard. It offers exceptional read and write performance, expanded device connectivity, and support for the latest Intel and AMD platforms. Whether on a desktop or laptop, elevate your creativity to speed.

The ultimate performance

The Legend 960 provides sequential read and write speeds of 7,400/6,800 MB per second, which is up to 4 times faster than a typical PCIe Gen3 SSD and 13 times faster than a SATA SSD. It is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 and is built for creation, whether it’s for virtual design, animation, or game development!

Compatible with PS5

The Legend 960 supports PCIe 4.0 and works with PS5 consoles as expanded storage. Its size not only fits the slot design but also provides smooth and lag-free gaming.

*According to Sony, even if the read and write speeds are higher than the official standard, not all games can perform the same as the built-in SSD of the PS5 console.

More than ample 2TB capacity

With 3D-stacked flash memory, the Legend 960 provides you with up to 2TB of capacity. Additionally, it features various protection and correction technologies and high TBW (Total Bytes Written) for durability and reliability.

Cool and Fresh

The black design of the Legend 960 heatsink with copper decorative elements and sandblasted surfaces looks cool and keeps things cool. Through an innovative surface treatment, it dissipates heat incredibly efficiently, reducing temperature.

The Complete Professional

The Legend 960 features SLC Caching and DRAM Cache Buffer for advantages in system loading and data caching. It offers random read/write 4K with up to 750K/630K IOPS for smoother multitasking.

Create Without Worry

The Low Density Parity check Code (LDPC) and AES 256-bit encryption ensure data accuracy and file security.

SSD ToolBox Software

The Adata SSD Toolbox allows monitoring of the drive's health and remaining lifespan through the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) features. It also enables you to monitor the current operating temperature, capacity, and total space used, as well as receive firmware updates.

Capacity
2000 GB

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.
Communication Protocol
PCI Express 4.0

Form Factor
M.2 (Type 2280)

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

Maximum 4KB Random Write
750000 IOPS

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    At the price of 50-60 euros, it is an ideal choice, due to the reliability it provides with a 5-year warranty. The speed is very high and with a large TBW (Maximum expected lifespan, maximum recordings). Ideal solution for PS5 including a standard performance cooler. Recommended for value for money solution.
