The Adata Legend 960 M.2 SSD is a powerful and reliable drive, perfectly suited for gamers and PC enthusiasts. With its PCIe Gen4 x4 interface, the SSD offers impressive speeds of up to 7400 MB/s for reading and 6000 MB/s for writing. Additionally, NVMe 1.4 support ensures enhanced reliability and performance. The drive features a robust metal casing that protects against damage, as well as an integrated aluminum heatsink that effectively reduces heat buildup. This SSD transfers data via PCI-Express, leaving traditional SATA SSDs far behind in terms of transfer rates. M.2 SSDs are installed through the M.2 socket on the motherboard. Due to their compact dimensions, they are particularly suitable for use in ultrabooks and mini-PCs, but can also be used in standard computers. In systems with NVMe support, this SSD truly shines, offering high throughput, high IOPS, and low latency. Unlike the older AHCI protocol, which was designed for traditional spinning drives, NVMe prevents performance drops, provides faster transfers of large data volumes, increased boot speeds, and improved system responsiveness. With 3D NAND (also known as V-NAND or 3D V-NAND), the transistors are arranged vertically to the chip surface, and the flash memory lines are stacked in layers. This achieves a higher storage density while simultaneously reducing the risk of interference between cells. Thanks to the shortened connections between cells, electrical efficiency increases, which in turn lowers power consumption.
