ADATA Legend 970 2TB SSD Review



In our read-throughput tests, the performance of the 2TB ADATA Legend 970 climbed smoothly through the block marks until it reached the 1MB block where the performance dropped from 7,646MB/s to 5,176MB/s at the 2MB mark before recovering to finish the test run peaking at 7,469MB/s, which is some way off the official maximum rating of 10,000MB/s.


That Sequential read throughput test result sees the drive just above the Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 10000drive.


During the write test run, the performance of the Legend 970 momentarily levels between blocks 128KB and 256KB then drops from 8,654MB/s to 7,589MBs between 1MB and 2MB. The drive recovers well to peak at 9,928.71MB (8MB) before dropping back to finish the test run at 9,671.41MB/s.


As with the read throughput test result, the peak write result of 9,928.71MB is short of the official maximum of 10,000MB/s but at least it is a lot closer to the official figure than the read result.
