“The Adata Legend 960 is a capable SSD for PS5, but the fact that it’s released right at the tail‑end of Gen 4’s lifespan means it’s tough to recommend in the wake of more well‑known drives for around the same price.”

The Adata Legend 960 delivers exceptional sustained write speeds and runs cool, but its average sequential performance and subpar power efficiency prevent it from standing out among competitors. It is a satisfactory choice for desktop or PS5 use only if found at a discounted price.
