In our read-throughput test, the 2TB ADATA XPG Mars 980 Blade peaked at 9,086.12MB/s at the 8MB block mark, some way off the official maximum of 14,000MB/s.

Although the test result of 9086.12MB/s is some way off the official maximum, it is still good enough to put the drive into the top ten and is 1,439MB/s faster than the previous generation Legend 970.

In the write throughput test, the drive produced a peak test result of 11,646.90MB/s (16MB block), some way off the official maximum of 13,000MB/s.

Its test result of 11,646.90MB/s may be 1,354MB/s from the official maximum, but it's still good enough to put it into fifth position in the results chart. It is also 1,718.19MB/s faster than the previous generation Legend 970 drive.
