One important hardware component integral to the LEGEND 860 is the card edge connector. This connector type plays a significant role in ensuring stable, high-speed data transfer between the SSD and the system. A card edge connector typically features a set of conductive contacts that align with corresponding pins on the motherboard or device interface. In the case of the LEGEND 860, the M.2 2280 form factor and its PCIe x4 connector ensure that the SSD can deliver high bandwidth, which is crucial for sustaining peak performance over long periods.
