ADATA Technology Co., Ltd.
2026 Taiwan Excellence Award

With the arrival of PCIe Gen5 SSDs, passive heatsinks are no longer sufficient to handle the heat generated by ultra-high speeds. Conventional heatsinks are often bulky, leading to interference with other components and suboptimal thermal performance. ADATA's MARS 980 PRO PCIe Gen5 SSD features the industry’s smallest active heatsink at just 12mm high—far slimmer than the typical 20mm+ alternatives. It fits various motherboard layouts and includes a built-in micro fan for efficient heat dissipation. In testing, temperatures dropped from 45°C to 38°C—an impressive 15% cooling efficiency. This compact yet powerful thermal design allows the MARS 980 PRO to reach read/write speeds of 14,000/13,000 MB/s. It also features a PCIe Gen5 x4 interface and 6nm controller for ultra-low power and thermal efficiency, ensuring stable high-speed performance. With up to 4TB capacity, it meets the demands of digital creators, AAA gamers, and AI PC workloads with ease.
