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.

These attributes make it perfect for content creators and console gamers on the go.
Content creators I get but "console gamers on the go"? As in moving games from one console to another, or...? Do any of the current gen consoles even have a USB 3.2 2x2 port?
Most press releases are pretty stupid. It seems pointless to try to figure out what the authors had on their minds (authors like not Blaylock who posted this news but someone from ADATA marketing). Like anyone would just run with PS5 or Xbox, 2 pads and cables, so the USB SSD would be so much help ;)
Barely any mid/low shelf motherboard has USB 3.2 2x2, not to mention consoles. If I'm right then it will run at half speed.
The PlayStation 5 does. While you can't game from the external drive you can transfer games from the external to the internal and then play. I don't know about the other consoles. My most recent console is a PS3 so.....
:salute:
EDIT: The PS5 is USB-C Gen2 x1 and will work with this drive, but like Woomack pointed out, it will not be at the drive's full speed. The transfer limit will be on the console, not the drive.
Xbox specs says USB 3.0. Some sites say it supports USB 3.2 SSD/HDD but no details on what gen. Considering how similar PS5 and Xbox are, I assume that both have USB 3.2 x1 or Gen2 x1, whatever it's called. So in real it's half or even lower speed.
Other brands are advertising their top USB SSD as perfect for consoles too. If they skipped consoles and some pointless things on the features list, then would be a USB drive for fast backup of your modern, high-end PC as most laptops won't support that too ;)
Even if you run it on PC then without patches for Win11, it will be stuck at a lower speed too. Some other USB 3.2 2x2 that I was testing required new firmware or OS updates to reach 2GB/s.
