ADATA Legend 710 256GB M.2 NVMe Gen3 SSD

The ADATA Legend 710 delivers reliable PCIe Gen3 x4 performance for content creators, gamers, and professionals upgrading their Intel or AMD systems. This M.2 2280 SSD combines sustained read/write speeds of 2100/1000 MB/s with practical thermal management and data protection features.

Performance Specifications

Built on PCIe 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 support, the Legend 710 achieves sequential read speeds up to 2100 MB/s and write speeds up to 1000 MB/s. Random 4K performance reaches 90K/130K IOPS, providing responsive system operation for multitasking, file transfers, and application loading. The Realtek RTS5766DL controller manages 3D NAND flash memory efficiently across the 256GB capacity.

Thermal Management

The included heatsink features blue aluminum construction with gold accents, reducing operating temperatures by 15% compared to bare drive operation. This thermal solution maintains consistent performance during extended workloads without throttling. The complete assembly measures 80 x 22 x 3.13mm and weighs 9g, while the bare drive option (6.2g, 2.15mm height) fits ultrabooks and compact systems.

Data Reliability Features

LDPC (Low Density Parity Check Code) error correction technology ensures accurate data transmission and extends drive longevity. AES 256-bit encryption protects sensitive files and system data. The drive supports Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, utilizing system RAM to improve random performance and responsiveness. SLC caching accelerates write operations for sustained productivity.

Compatibility and Monitoring

The M.2 2280 form factor installs in standard M.2 slots on modern motherboards and laptops supporting PCIe Gen3 or newer. ADATA SSD Toolbox software provides firmware updates, S.M.A.R.T. health monitoring, temperature tracking, and capacity management. The drive operates reliably from 0°C to 70°C with 1500G shock resistance.

Warranty and Endurance

Backed by a 3-year warranty or 65 TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating, the Legend 710 offers 1,500,000 hours MTBF. This endurance rating suits typical consumer workloads including OS installation, application storage, and daily file operations.
