ADATA LEGEND 860 SLEG-860-500GCS interne solid-state-drive 500 GB M.2 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe 3D NAND

The ADATA LEGEND 860 is an M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with 500 GB capacity designed for high-performance storage in PCs, notebooks and compatible game consoles. With sequential read speeds up to 5000 MB/s and write speeds up to 3000 MB/s, it delivers fast data transfer and reduced load times while remaining backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 platforms.

Advantages

This SSD combines PCIe 4.0 performance with 3D NAND durability and technologies such as SLC caching, HMB (Host Memory Buffer) and LDPC error correction to improve sustained throughput, data integrity and endurance. The drive is available in a compact M.2 form factor and is suitable for expanding console storage (including PS5-compatible sizing), accelerating large-file workflows and increasing system responsiveness. A 5-year manufacturer warranty and included SSD Toolbox software enable firmware updates and health monitoring via S.M.A.R.T.

Suitable for

• Gaming on PC and consoles (PS5-compatible physical size and performance)
• Content creation workflows: video editing, animation and 3D rendering
• Machine learning data sets and product modeling projects
• Everyday system acceleration for notebooks and desktops

Key specifications

• Weight: 0.0095 kg
• Manufacturer warranty: 5 years

How to use

Install the M.2 SSD into an available M.2 PCIe slot on a compatible motherboard or into a compatible console expansion slot following the device manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure the system BIOS/UEFI and console firmware support PCIe 4.0 or will accept PCIe 4.0 devices in a backward-compatible mode. After installation, initialize and format the drive in the operating system or console storage settings, then install or move applications and data as needed. Use the supplied SSD Toolbox to check firmware, run diagnostics and monitor S.M.A.R.T. parameters.

Recommendations

For sustained heavy workloads, enable appropriate cooling for the M.2 slot (heat sink or chassis airflow) and keep firmware up to date via SSD Toolbox. Back up important data regularly and follow the console or motherboard manufacturer guidance when using the drive as PS5 expansion storage.
