ADATA Legend 970 2TB SSD Review

AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read-and-write tests, as well as random read-and-write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. It uses incompressible data samples which many drives struggle with, so results can be viewed as the worst case scenarios.

AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

In the AS SSD benchmark, the Legend 970 read score of 4534 sees it in between the Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 1000 and Seagate's FireCuda 540. Its write score is a little better at 4902.
