ADATA Legend 860 500GB Gen4 x4 M.2 2280 SSD

The ADATA Legend 860 is a 500GB internal solid-state drive built for the M.2 2280 slot and the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. It targets users who need faster load times and sustained throughput for gaming, content creation or heavy multitasking. The integrated heatsink helps manage thermals during extended workloads.

Check motherboard M.2 key

Verify that your motherboard or laptop provides an M-keyed M.2 2280 slot wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 to reach the advertised 5000 MBps read and 3000 MBps write speeds. Confirm the platform supports NVMe 1.4 and that BIOS or firmware is current. The PS5 expansion slot is also compatible, but the console requires its own system software update.

Sustained workloads stay within 0 °C to 70 °C

The on-board heatsink and SLC caching algorithm work together to maintain performance during long transfers or extended gaming sessions. LDPC error correction protects data integrity while the drive writes up to its 1600 TBW endurance rating. MTBF of 2000000 hours and 1500G shock resistance further support reliability under continuous use.

Questions about this item

Will this drive fit in my PS5 without modification?

The M.2 2280 form factor with integrated heatsink matches the PS5 expansion slot dimensions, so it installs directly without extra parts.

Can my motherboard use the full 5000 MB/s read speed?

You need a motherboard with a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot; on a PCIe 3.0 slot the drive will still work but at the lower 3.0 ceiling.

How much data can I write over the drive's rated life?

The endurance rating is 1600 TBW, meaning you can write 1.6 petabytes before the warranty limit is reached.
