ADATA Technology Co. Ltd., the world's leading brand for memory modules and flash memory, has launched the ADATA LEGEND 970 PRO PCIe Gen5 solid state drive. Like its predecessor, the LEGEND 970 PRO adopts a space-saving efficient active cooled heatsink that reduces drive temperatures by a phenomenal 20%. However, the LEGEND 970 PRO takes it to the next level by being the only PCIe Gen5 SSD on the market to power its micro-fan directly through the M.2 slot. This revolutionary SSD delivers breakneck read/write speeds of 14,000/11,000MB/s and is available in capabilities up to 4TB. With the added advantage of active cooling, the LEGEND 970 PRO can run long-term at maximum speeds in a stable manner without throttling or crashing. The ADATA LEGEND 970 PRO PCIe Gen5 SSD is truly the best collaborator on complex and demanding projects.

Active cooling evolved
The LEGEND 970 PRO utilizes a double-layered aluminum heatsink designed with integral air ducts to divert hot and cold air while the built-in micro-fan accelerates heat discharge. This revolutionary active cooling architecture precipitates a compact form factor that supports installation in tight spaces and allows the LEGEND 970 PRO to be used in systems where oversized bulky heatsinks cannot. In addition, the LEGEND 970 PRO is the only actively cooled SSD on the market that draws fan power from the M.2 slot, eliminating the clutter and hassle of an additional power cable.
