Adata Legend 960 SSD

The Adata Legend 960 is a typical high-end PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, standing out only with its exceptional sustained write performance. It runs relatively cool but lacks the efficiency of its peers. It’s a satisfactory drive for a desktop or PS5 if you can find it for the right price.
