The Legend 970 is ADATA’s first crack on the slowly rising PCIe Gen 5.0 market phase. The drive makes use of a mix of a Phison controller and 232-layer NAND and comes with an lively cooling resolution. We assessment the 2TB mannequin, touchdown at just below £300 right here within the UK.

ADATA’s Legend 970 product includes (on the time of writing) simply two fashions, a 1TB drive and the flagship 2TB unit (the drive ADATA kindly provided for assessment). On the coronary heart of the drive is a Phison PS5026 E26 8-channel controller taking care of 232-layer Micron 3D TLC NAND and 4GB of LPDDR4-4266 DRAM cache.
Sequential efficiency for the 2TB drive is quoted as as much as 10,000MB/s for each learn and writes whereas 4K random efficiency is listed as as much as 1,400,000 IOPS for each. The 1TB drive will get rankings of as much as 9.500MB/s and eight,500MB/s for Sequential learn/writes respectively whereas 4K random learn efficiency is quoted at 1,300,000 IOPS with random writes at 1,400,000 IOPS as per the 2TB drive.
Endurance is listed as 700 TBW and 1400 TBW for the 1TB and 2TB fashions respectively and ADATA backs the drive with a 5-year guarantee.
