- Japan page spec: ADATA internal SSD, PCI-Express connection, LEGEND 710 (with heatsink), ALEG-710-1TCS-I [1TB/M.2] | original product name ADATA PCI-Express connection LEGEND 710 (with heatsink) ALEG-710-1TCS-I [1TB/M.2] internal SSD; Taiwan page spec: 1TB/M.2/PCIe connection/with heatsinkJapan lists model ALEG-710-1TCS-I as "LEGEND 710 (with heatsink, CS = Cooling Sink) 1TB M.2." The Taiwan momo product page's title and spec both explicitly state "with heatsink," the same 1TB capacity, and the identical brand (ADATA) and series name (LEGEND 710), differing only in an Apple-style regional part-number suffix — confirmed as the same heatsink-equipped version, not the base version without a heatsink. root re-verified on 2026-09-15: re-read the price from the Taiwan retailer's product page or momo's product-search JSON, confirming it is a single-SKU amount rather than a multi-spec price range.
