ADATA has just launched its new LEGEND 970 PRO Gen5 SSD, pushing the boundaries of storage performance. Powered by the innovative InnoGrit IG5666 controller, this SSD delivers blazing read speeds of up to 14GB/sec. But it’s not just about speed; ADATA has also addressed the issue of heat generation that can often plague high-performance SSDs. The LEGEND 970 PRO Gen5 SSD features a compact, actively-cooled heatsink that effectively reduces operating temperatures by a significant 20%. What sets this SSD apart is its revolutionary active cooling system. The LEGEND 970 PRO Gen5 is the first and only PCIe Gen5 SSD to directly power its micro-fan through the M.2 slot, eliminating the need for extra cables and simplifying installation. This innovative approach ensures that the SSD’s cooling system remains efficient and unobtrusive, even in tight spaces. The active cooler on the LEGEND 970 PRO Gen5 SSD ensures that you can consistently enjoy those incredible 14GB/sec read speeds without encountering performance-hindering thermal throttling. ADATA’s design incorporates a double-layered aluminum heatsink with integrated air ducts to effectively direct hot and cold air while the built-in micro-fan accelerates heat dissipation. This unique active cooling architecture allows the LEGEND 970 PRO Gen5 to achieve a compact form factor, making it suitable for systems where larger heatsinks may not fit. The LEGEND 970 PRO Gen5 leverages the PCIe Gen5 x4 interface for maximum performance, while remaining backwards compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 platforms. ADATA has built this SSD with rigorously tested 232-layer 3D NAND flash memory, offering capacities up to an impressive 4TB. This ensures that users have ample storage space for their demanding applications and data-intensive needs.
