Frequently asked questions about this product

Does this Gen5 SSD really have a fan?
Yes. The LEGEND 970 PRO combines dual-layer aluminium alloy fins with a micro fan powered directly through the M.2 connector: there is no cable to connect. Together they form an active cooling system, designed for long-term stability.
How much space does this SSD take up once installed?
17.9 mm high, for 80.6 by 24.2 mm and 52.1 g. This is the point to check before anything else: this height requires generous clearance above the M.2 slot, and it may clash with a CPU air cooler or a graphics card.
What speeds does the 2 TB version claim?
14,000 MB/s read and 10,000 MB/s write. The 11,000 MB/s write quoted for the range applies to the 4 TB version; the 1 TB, for its part, drops to 13,000/9,500. This 2 TB capacity is therefore the first to reach full read speed.
What are its 4K random IOPS?
1,800,000 read and 1,300,000 write on this 2 TB capacity. It is these small accesses that make for smoothness in a multitrack edit, a 3D render with thousands of assets, or a virtual machine running in the background while you work.
What write endurance does this 2 TB version offer?
1,480 TB, i.e. 740 full drive fills, against 2,960 TB on the 4 TB version and 740 TB on the 1 TB. The mean time between failures is rated at 1,600,000 hours and the module withstands shocks of 1,500 G for 0.5 ms.
Does it work on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 motherboard?
Yes, it is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 3.0, at reduced speed: it is then the motherboard's bus that caps the throughput, not the drive. A Gen5 platform is needed to reach the advertised 14,000 MB/s read.
Does this SSD have its own cache memory?
Yes, a dedicated DRAM cache, backed by SLC caching. The controller is an InnoGrit IG5666 and the memory is 232-layer 3D TLC NAND. Hardware LDPC error correction also safeguards the accuracy of the data transferred.
What temperature range can it operate in?
From 0 to 70 °C in operation and from -40 to 85 °C when powered off. On a Gen5 drive pushed to 14,000 MB/s, it is the active cooling that must keep the module within this range: the micro fan is not a decorative accessory but a condition for the advertised speeds.
Is the drive new and under warranty?
It is new and your invoice serves as the warranty document. It carries the reference SLEG-970P-2TCI, to be quoted for any return. The datasheet gives the details of the range's three capacities.
