A-Data LEGEND 960 ALEG-960-2TCS 2 TB

A high-performance consumer SSD model A-Data from the 2022 lineup, featuring an M.2 connector and supporting the high-speed PCIe Gen4 x4 interface (NVMe 1.4 protocol), a full-fledged DDR4 DRAM cache, quality TLC flash memory, and good endurance. The device comes in a 2280 form factor without an enclosure and features a dual-sided chip layout, which somewhat limits compatibility with dense configurations.

A thin graphene thermal spreader reduces temperature to prevent throttling during peak loads, but more efficient cooling is recommended for extended continuous data writing. Positioned as a high-end product, it targets enthusiasts, creators of ultra-high-resolution content, and gamers. Using the A-Data LEGEND 960 ALEG-960-2TCS in gaming systems significantly speeds up level load times and allows seamless background asset loading, earning the praise of PC gaming enthusiasts.

It is technically compatible with the Sony PlayStation 5 console and suitable for equipping entry-level workstations that demand high disk subsystem performance. The core of this model is a high-performance Silicon Motion SM2264 controller (12 nm) paired with reliable 176-layer 3D TLC memory from Micron. Cryptographic protection using the AES-256-bit algorithm is supported. Features of this device include high-speed PCIe Gen4 x4 interface, quality TLC flash memory, DRAM buffer, efficient thermal management, and compatibility with gaming systems and consoles.
