File Copy and Workstation Performance
DiskBench
With DiskBench we place a 50GB single file onto the test drive. We copy this file from the test drive to a new folder on the test drive, volume to volume. This tests the performance of the drive’s ability to copy a single large file from itself to itself as if you were copying files on the same drive, it replicates this drive being your primary and only drive. Results are in duration Seconds, lower is better.
Copying a large 50GB file from volume to volume the ADATA LEGEND 970 2TB SSD once again performs the fastest, with only a time of 14.7 seconds to copy the large single file, it performs the best. It is much faster than the previous generation ADATA LEGEND 960 at a huge 12.6 seconds faster. Compared to the next fastest SSD, the Netac NV7000-t it is half a second faster.
SPECworkstation 3.1
We are using SPECworkstation 3.1 and specifically the WPCstorage test. “The storage workload is based on storage transaction traces from a wide variety of professional applications engaged in real work.” It includes media and entertainment, product development, life sciences, energy, and general operations. Each program receives a score, and they are averaged together for an overall score, higher is better.
The ADATA LEGEND 970 2TB SSD performs very well in SPECworkstation 3.1 Storage Workloads test with a score of 6.86 it is near the top.
