ADATA LEGEND 970 PCIe 5.0 SSD formally introduced with 10GBps reads and writes

For individuals seeking the fastest consumer-class SSD, you’re in for a treat. Introducing ADATA’s LEGEND 970.

The LEGEND 970 is a formidable beast, capable of achieving read and write speeds of up to 10GB/s via PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. The SLC cache algorithm and DRAM cache buffer provide impressive sustained speeds.

In terms of random I/O benchmarks, 1400K IOPS is the magic number.

Design-wise, it has incorporated a patented double-layer extruded aluminum heatsink with dense air ducts diverting both hot and cold air to the places they need to be. Micro fans expel heat from both ends of the extruded aluminum fins and as a result, the overall air contact area has been enhanced, resulting in 10% lower temperatures compared to fanless drives.

By utilizing 232-layer 3D flash memory, the LEGEND 970 is available in sizes of up to 2TB. Additionally, ADATA has implemented various longevity-related technologies, ensuring better Total Bytes Written (TBW) and overall durability, surpassing many other players in the market.

Lastly, the Low-Density Parity Check Code (LDPC) error correction mechanism and AES 256-bit high-level encryption guarantee a great level of security to your data while the SSD Toolbox has all a user needs to check on the hard drive’s status.
