ADATA Legend 710 2TB internal SSD

2TB PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe drive

The ADATA Legend 710 is an M.2 2280 internal SSD built for consumer desktops and laptops that accept a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. It delivers 2TB of 3D NAND storage with sequential reads up to 2400 MBps and writes up to 1800 MBps. The Realtek RTS5766DL controller supports NVMe 1.4 and Host Memory Buffer for low-latency access.

Simple M.2 installation with included heatsink

The drive fits a standard M.2 2280 slot and ships with a blue aluminium heatsink already attached, which the maker says can lower temperatures by up to 15%. No extra mounting hardware is required beyond the motherboard standoff screw. The main risk is overtightening that screw or inserting the module at an angle, which can damage the connector or the controller.

PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth caps peak throughput

The four-lane Gen3 interface limits maximum sequential transfer to roughly 4 GBps, so the rated 2400/1800 MBps figures sit well within that ceiling. Random performance reaches 740,000 IOPS for both read and write, while endurance is rated at 520TB written and 1.5 million hours MTBF. AES 256-bit encryption and LDPC ECC protect data integrity across the 0°C to 70°C operating range.
