The Legend 970 utilizes the latest generation of the PCIe Gen5 x4 transfer interface and complies with the NVMe 2.0 standard to deliver amazing read and write capabilities. The Legend 970 also supports the latest Intel and AMD platforms. Whether for dynamic or static output, it always provides full performance. Complete any task in just moments. The Legend 970 features optimal sequential read/write speeds, twice as fast as PCIe Gen4 SSDs and six times faster than Gen3 SSDs, and is fully backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 platforms. When high efficiency is required, leave it to the professionals. The Legend 970 uses dual-layer extruded aluminum fins to create a dense air channel that directs hot and cold air. As heat is directed upwards, a built-in micro fan helps dissipate heat energy. This unique active heat dissipation design ensures significantly cooler temperatures than a fanless heatsink.
