This product listing corresponds to the ADATA Legend 960 model number ALEG-960-1TCS. Before finalizing your purchase, please verify that your laptop, desktop, or host device is compatible with M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs. Not all M.2 slots support the NVMe protocol, as some are configured specifically for SATA drives. Ensuring your system hardware supports the PCIe 4.0 interface will ensure optimal drive recognition and performance.

Key Performance Features

• 1TB Storage Capacity: Provides reliable high-capacity storage for your software, large-scale games, professional documents, and high-definition media. Please note that actual usable storage may be slightly less than 1TB due to file system formatting and essential operating system requirements.
• Advanced PCIe 4.0 x4 Interface: Utilizes the power of a PCI Express 4.0 connection across four data lanes. This ensures high bandwidth for modern workloads, though final performance is subject to individual system configuration and motherboard slot specifications.
• NVMe Protocol Efficiency: Leverages the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) protocol, which is specifically optimized for high-speed flash storage. This architecture ensures significantly better performance compared to traditional SATA storage devices.
• Compact M.2 2280 Form Factor: Features standard physical dimensions of 22mm width and 80mm length, allowing it to fit into most standard M.2 slots found in modern computing devices. Always check for necessary physical clearance and slot compatibility before proceeding with installation.
• Seamless Internal Integration: Supports a clean, cable-free internal setup. By mounting directly onto the motherboard, you maintain better airflow in your case, keeping your system cool and organized.
• Reliable Model Identification: The ADATA Legend 960 (ALEG-960-1TCS) is a trusted storage solution, providing clear model identification for your upgrade and system planning needs.
