- Fits any desktop or laptop with an M.2 2280 NVMe slot and PCIe Gen3 support.
- Works with Intel and AMD platforms running modern operating systems.
- With heatsink measures 3.13 mm tall; confirm your system allows clearance above the M.2 slot, as some laptop designs or low-profile heatsinks may interfere.
- Does not support PCIe Gen4 or Gen5 systems, which will run it at Gen3 speeds only.
Best for
- Aspiring and amateur content creators
- Photo and video editing workflows
- Creative professionals needing sustained performance
- Users upgrading from older SATA drives
Trade-offs
- PCIe Gen4 or Gen5 systems — this drive is Gen3 only and cannot take advantage of newer platform speeds.
- Systems with severe space constraints — the 3.13 mm heatsink height may interfere with tight M.2 clearance.
- Ultra-demanding enterprise or server workloads — designed for creative desktop and laptop use, not 24/7 data centre operation.
Make your creations legendary with the ADATA LEGEND 700. Enhance your creativity with sustained read/write speeds of up to 2,000/1,600MB per second on the latest Intel and AMD platforms.

*2,000GB (1GB = 1 billion bytes), 2TB ( = 1,024GB), part of the capacity is used for formatting and system files, and the actual available capacity will be less than the listed capacity on the product.
*Performance may vary based on SSD capacity, hardware test platform, test software, operating system, and other system variables.
