- PS5 expansion storage. It fits the PS5's M.2 slot and delivers the read speeds required for console gaming.
- PCIe Gen4 motherboards. Works with current Intel and AMD platforms, and remains backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 systems.
- Any device with an M.2 NVMe slot. Supports NVMe 2.0 protocol and can be used in laptops, desktops, or other compatible hardware.
- The 500GB model runs at up to 5,000 MB/s read speed, slightly lower than the 1TB and 2TB variants at 6,000 MB/s.
Best for
- Content creators handling 4K video, 3D models, and large project files
- PS5 owners needing fast expansion storage for large game libraries
- Users running sustained, high-throughput workloads like machine learning and data processing
- Gamers and professionals who value long-term reliability and endurance
Trade-offs
- Budget-conscious buyers seeking the lowest-cost storage per gigabyte
- The 500GB model is not ideal for sustained heavy workloads, as it writes at up to 3,000 MB/s compared to 5,000 MB/s on larger capacities
- Systems requiring passive cooling below 0°C, as the operating range starts at 0°C
The leader in creative style! LEGEND 860 SSD delivers advanced computing performance to creators. With sequential read/write speeds of up to 6,000/5,000MB per second and a storage capacity of 2,000GB, it is a powerful first choice for expanding PS5 console storage and supports the latest Intel and AMD platforms.
The LEGEND 860 boasts a sequential read/write speed of 6,000/5,000MB per second, 3 times faster than standard PCIe Gen3 SSDs and 10 times faster than SATA SSDs, and it is fully backward compatible with current PCIe 3.0 platforms. This drive provides excellent output for mid-to-high-end productions such as film and television animation, machine learning, and product modeling!
The LEGEND 860 utilizes a PCIe 4.0 transmission interface and can be installed in the PS5 as an expansion hard drive to alleviate PS5 storage insufficiency issues. Not only does the LEGEND 860 fit perfectly into the PS5's drive slot, it also provides a smooth and no-lag gaming experience while enjoying triple A masterpieces.
Powerful performance no matter the file size. The LEGEND 860 is available in a spacious 2000GB capacity and utilizes a variety of data protection and correction technologies to greatly increase its Total Bytes Written volume (TBW) and durability to meet the needs of various storage applications.
LEGEND 860 utilizes a SLC cache algorithm and HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology to take advantage of caching and adopts LDPC (Low Density Parity Check Code) error correction mechanism to ensure the accuracy of data transmission and file security.
The LEGEND series of solid-state hard drives are constructed with carefully selected high-quality components which can withstand the test of time. Rigorously verified and tested, the LEGEND 860 comes with a 5-year warranty.
