The PCIe 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.4 deliver top-tier sequential speeds and high IOPS (up to 750K/630K). With SLC caching and a DRAM buffer, system startup, large-file workflows, and multitasking are accelerated.
A specially designed aluminum heatsink improves convective airflow and maintains stable, throttling-free performance even under sustained loads. Before installation, remove any M.2 heatsink from the motherboard.
Sized to fit the PS5 expansion slot; on PS5 it achieves sequential reads up to 6400 MB/s. Full support for the latest Intel/AMD platforms and backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0.
ADATA LEGEND 960 MAX uses the latest PCIe Gen4x4 interface and NVMe 1.4 standard, dramatically speeding up system boot, video exports, and project loading. Sequential read/write reaches up to 7400/6800 MB/s and thanks to SLC caching and a DRAM buffer you can count on lightning-fast response even when multitasking (up to 750K/630K IOPS for 4K random access).
A precisely engineered aluminum heatsink with multi-layer fins creates effective convective airflow and lowers SSD temperatures by up to 40%. That means consistent performance without throttling even during prolonged workloads. When installing, always remove any integrated M.2 heatsink on the motherboard to avoid stacking two heatsinks.
The drive is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0, so you can easily deploy it in older builds. For PlayStation 5 it offers sequential reads up to 6400 MB/s (per the console manufacturer’s specification), expanding internal storage for AAA titles without delays.
