LEGEND 970 PCIe Gen5 SSD
LEGEND 970 PCIe Gen5 SSD is the latest high-speed SSD developed specifically for gamers and creators who pursue the ultimate in computer performance. Supporting the latest PCIe 5.0 high-speed bus, the LEGEND 970 can reach sequential read/write speeds of up to 10,000/10,000 MB/s.
