# 10-Gigabyte SSDs ADATA Announced the 'LEGEND 970' with Industry-Leading Performance By Colin Smith | Published 2023-07-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legend-970 References: [thinkcomputers.org](https://thinkcomputers.org/adata-launches-legend-970-pcie-gen-5-ssd/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=adata-launches-legend-970-pcie-gen-5-ssd)  The LEGEND 970 is a new SSD from [ADATA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adata-se920) that embraces the next generation of consumer SSD technology. It adopts a PCIe Gen 5 x4 interface, which complies with the NVMe 2.0 standard, and delivers blazing-fast read and write speeds of up to 10,000/10,000 MB/s, doubling the performance of previous Gen 4 SSDs and six times faster than Gen 3 SSDs. It also features a unique double-layer aluminum alloy heatsink that has a built-in micro-fan and surface crystallization to form a patented active air-cooling system, ensuring optimal temperature and stability. The LEGEND 970 is available in capacities of up to 2TB thanks to a strictly selected 232-layer 3D flash memory. It also has a SLC cache algorithm and DRAM Cache Buffer which improve system loading and data caching, as well as LPDC error correction and AES 256-bit encryption for accuracy and security. The LEGEND 970 is compatible with the latest [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gen4-4000e) and [AMD](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mp700) platforms and supports various applications such as 3D animation, game development, or virtual visualization. The LEGEND 970 comes with a 5-year global limited warranty and is expected to be available in Q4 2023. The pricing has not been announced yet, but it is likely to be higher than the current Gen 4 SSDs due to its advanced technology and performance.
