The LEGEND 970 SSD by ADATA has truly impressed me. Its PCIe Gen5 x4 transmission interface delivers exceptional speed, with up to 10,000/10,000MB/s sequential read/write speed. The dual-layer aluminum alloy and fan form a patented active air cooling system, which significantly reduces temperatures by 10% compared to a fanless heat sink.

Creator Recommendations

In the process of creation I take thousands of images which fill up my laptop quickly. I use ADATA’s ELITE SE760 external drive to store all my photos. Its sleek metal case is stylish and durable, while its high-speed performance ensures swift photo storage. This compact drive not only safeguards my photos but also keeps up with my pace, offering a reliable and efficient storage solution for my creative endeavors.

LEGEND SSDs for Creators

Master Applications

The LEGEND 9 series consists of high-end Gen4 and Gen5 SSDs designed for masterpiece creations in commercial animation, game development, virtual reality, etc.

Professional Applications

The LEGEND 8 series consists of midrange Gen4 SSDs designed for professional creations such as 3D graphics, film production, machine learning, etc.

Aspiring Applications

The LEGEND 7 series consist of mid-range Gen3 SSDs designed to suit general to intensive users for product design, image editing, post-production processing, etc.

Gen5 SSD Advantages

Faster reading and writing

Currently, actual Gen4 SSD performance can be as high as 7Gbps, while the speed of a Gen5 SSD will be greater than 10Gbps, which can significantly reduce latency and improve overall system performance.

Wider bandwidth

Compared with PCIe Gen4’s 16GT/ s, Gen5 can provide a bandwidth of 32GT/s, twice that of the previous generation.

High compatibility

Gen5 is compatible with Gen4 and Gen3, so consumers do not have to replace all components when upgrading a system.

Thermal convection analysis

Heat transfers from SSD to thermal pad, entering lower extruded aluminum fin array. Micro-fan forces cold air into upper fin layer. Hot and cold air masses meet, expelling from both heatsink ends.

Stable performance

Heatsinks without active heat dissipation show compromised heat dissipation and performance. (The blue curve represents the active cooling design.)

Advantages of active cooling

Test results show fans incr ease air circulation and dissipate heat instantly. Testing further indicates that this heat dissipation methodology provides better cooling and improves performance stability and sustainability.

Maximum Speed Minimum Heat

The LEGEND 970 PRO Gen5 SSD features dual-layer aluminum heat dissipation fins and a micro fan for optimal cooling, ensuring stable long-term operation. With sequential read/write speeds up to 14,000/12,000MB per second, its advanced design and cooling set a new standard in PCIe Gen5 storage solutions.
