Target prices are calculation thresholds under today's dataset; where none exist, the row says so instead of showing blanks. Recalculated on every data refresh.

ADATA Legend 960 1TB interface, form factor & heatsink compatibility
| Interface | M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 |
| Form factor | M.2-2280 |
| Capacity | 1 TB |
| Sequential read / write | 7400 / 6000 MB/s |
| Endurance | 600 TBW |
| DRAM cache | Yes |
| Heatsink included | No |
Confirm the physical M.2/SATA form factor and interface your motherboard or laptop accepts. A newer PCIe drive can usually negotiate down to an older PCIe link, but its peak speed will be limited by that slot; check heatsink clearance before buying a heatsink model.

FAQ
- What is a good price for the ADATA Legend 960 1TB right now?
- The price targets at the top of this page are calculation thresholds, not forecasts: they say what the competing offers in the 2026-09-11 frame would have to be beaten by under the balanced weighting. Two caveats worth knowing — they move when the rest of the market moves, even if this product's own price doesn't; and hitting a target says the PRICE is good, not that the product suits your job (that's what the tier badges above answer). Change the weighting in the calculator and the targets change with it.
