PCIe 3.0 x4 256 GB SSD for creators

The ADATA LEGEND 700 256GB is an M.2 2280 internal solid state drive built on 3D NAND and a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3. It delivers sequential reads up to 1900 MBps and writes up to 1000 MBps. An integrated heat sink helps manage temperatures during workloads.

Suits photo and video editing; not for heavy write

This drive targets aspiring or amateur content creators editing photos, video or illustrations. It supports Host Memory Buffer and AES 256-bit encryption. The 80 TBW endurance rating means users with sustained heavy write demands should consider higher-capacity or DRAM-equipped alternatives.

Heat sink steadies temperatures under sustained load

The on-board heat sink reduces operating temperatures effectively across the 0°C to 70°C range. LDPC ECC and NVMe 1.3 maintain data integrity during long sessions. MTBF of 1500000 hours and 1500G shock resistance back reliability for typical creator workloads.

Questions about this item

Will the built-in heatsink fit in a slim laptop M.2 slot?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor; the integrated heatsink adds minimal height so it fits most laptops, but verify your chassis clearance before installing.

Does the drive need a DRAM cache for everyday workloads?

It uses Host Memory Buffer instead of onboard DRAM, which delivers responsive performance for typical creative tasks and general use.

What software helps move data from an old drive?

ADATA supplies a free SSD Toolbox and Migration Utility to simplify cloning and ongoing drive health monitoring.
