ADATA introduced its most powerful Gen 5 SSD, produced with unique cooling technology designed for advanced heat dissipation, within the scope of Computex 2023. The SSD, called Project NeonStorm PCIe Gen5 M.2, also manages to attract attention with its internal water cooling. The company also unveiled the LEGEND 970 and SE920 External SSD models.ADATA Project NeonStorm
ADATA is clearly focusing on cooling solutions for its SSDs. At Computex 2023, the company showcased its Project NeonStorm product with Silicon Motion SM2508 PCIe Gen5 M.2 SSD controller, which offers 14,000 MB/s read and 12,000 write performance. While read and write performance is very impressive, that’s not what ADATA wants you to focus on.
ADATA implements a water cooling + fan solution that the company claims can provide 20 percent better heat dissipation compared to non-water cooled SSDs. This solution, which is a first in the world, seems to be an ambitious solution especially for PCIe Gen5 SSDs that tend to heat up.
LEGEND 970 and SE920 SSD
On the other hand, ADATA introduced the LEGEND 970 and SE920 External SSD models. The LEGEND 970 delivers 10,000MB read and 10,000MB write performance per second, while its patented active heat dissipation design reduces temperatures by 10 percent compared to fan heat sinks. Using the latest generation USB4 interface, the SE920 achieves read speeds of up to 3,800MB per second and write speeds of up to 3,200MB. No price and release date information was shared for the introduced products.
