Adata Legend 800 NVMe SSD

The ADATA LEGEND 800 GOLD is engineered to deliver high-performance storage for modern desktops and laptops that utilise PCIe 4.0. With sequential read speeds up to ~3,500 MB/s and write speeds up to ~2,800 MB/s, this drive is ideal for gaming, creative applications, video editing and system responsiveness upgrades. It fits users who want fast loading, instant responsiveness and solid value in a future-ready NVMe SSD.

The LEGEND 800 GOLD supports the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface along with NVMe 1.4 protocol for enhanced bandwidth and compatibility. It is built with 3D NAND flash and advanced LDPC ECC technology for data integrity and endurance. The drive comes in capacities up to 2 TB, with options equipped with or without a heatsink for desktop or notebook use. It supports Host Memory Buffer (HMB) and includes software like ADATA’s SSD Toolbox for monitoring drive health and firmware updates.

This SSD requires a compatible M.2 2280 slot on the motherboard and benefits from PCIe 4.0 bandwidth (though it is backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0). For optimal performance, system ventilation is recommended to avoid thermal throttling. The package typically includes the drive only; a heatsink version may be required for some desktops. It supports usage in gaming PCs, creator workstations, and general system upgrades.
