Adata has introduced its first PCIe 5.0 SSD, the Legend 970. A Phison E26-based design, the Legend 970 pairs Phison’s high-end controller with a sophisticated active cooling system that promises predictable performance even under high loads. The Legend 970 SSD is aimed at high-performance desktops that can take advantage of fast storage devices.
Adata’s Légende 970 Les disques sont disponibles dans des capacités de 1 To et 2 To et sont conçus pour une vitesse de lecture/écriture séquentielle allant jusqu'à 10,000 1.4 Mo/s ainsi qu'une lecture/écriture IOPS aléatoire de 256 million, des niveaux de performances conformes à ceux de nombreuses entreprises de génération actuelle. SSD de qualité. Les disques prennent entièrement en charge toutes les technologies SSD modernes que l'on attend d'un disque contemporain, y compris le cache SLC, la correction d'erreurs LDPC (Low Density Parity Check Code) et le cryptage de haut niveau AES XNUMX bits.
Like other PCIe Gen 5 SSDs available now, the Legend 970 product uses Phison’s PS5026-E26 controller. As for memory, the drives use Micron’s 232-layer TLC NAND with a 1600 MT/s interface.
One of the key selling points of Adata’s Legend 970 is its cooling system, which although a bit on the bulky side of matters, is designed to be robust enough to keep the drive from thermal throttling even under high, sustained loads. Though at 80.6×24.2×17.9mm in size, the resulting SSD is decided a desktop part – and even then the drive will need a fair bit of clearance to fit.
Adata’s iniital Legend 970 SSD will eventually be joined by at least one other PCIe 5.0 SSD as well. The company’s XPG division is working on their SSD NéonStorm, qui utilise un système de refroidissement liquide autonome et est conçu pour des vitesses de lecture allant jusqu'à 14 Go/seconde (grâce à TLC NAND avec une interface de 2400 XNUMX MT/s).
Adata’s Legend 970 drives will come with a five-year global warranty. The company hasn’t published any pricing information, though we’d expect the drives to be more or less in line with other first-generation PCIe Gen5 SSDs.
