Starting our day off in the Venetian ballrooms, we visited our friends at ADATA who had a fair amount to share with our crowd. We’ll see a water-cooled PCIe 5.0 SSDs, a new AIO that DOESN’T use an Asetek pump, a hybrid air/water CPU cooler, new cases, and new magnetic RGB fans, there was a lot to show off.
It’s September of 2023, and we finally have our next PCIe 5.0-based M.2 storage module for review. ADATA was kind enough to send the Legend 970 in 1TB flavor. The new drive utilizes a Phison E26 controller with speeds listed up to a blistering fast 10,000 MB/s on reads and writes (2 TB version) and comes with its own heatsink and active cooling to help prevent throttling. Read on to see the specifications and see how the 1 TB performed in our test suite.
With Computex 2023 just getting started, there are several new products to report on. ADATA has developed three new SSDs with its Project NeonStorm leading the way. This Gen5 storage device features a unique hybrid cooler. Also announced are ADATA’s Legend 970 and the SE920 USB4.0 External drive. Keep an eye on the Overclockers.com front page for other articles from this year’s Computex event.
On Overclockers, we’ve seen ADATA memory kits many times. The XPG Lancer was also presented in the last few months. However, today we present quite an original addition to the DDR5 family – the Special Mera Edition of the already well-known XPG Lancer memory series. The tested version is rated at 7200MT/s, so it’s a new high-frequency memory and not only a cosmetic change. The new ADATA memory series promises excellent performance and high compatibility with a fresh aesthetic touch, bringing Mera – the XPG’s brand ambassador. How it looks in reality, you can find out in our review.
One of our next stops was to catch up with our friends at ADATA, and they had a lot to share. We saw Mera, a new brand ambassador, and a couple of collab builds the Se920 external PCIe 5.0 hard drive and an unnamed(?) PCIe M.2 drive with active cooling. Like many others companies we visit, there’s a lot to unpack here.
