ADATA Ultimate SU750 1TB SATA III SSD Review

SPECworkstation 3 Benchmark

The SPECworkstation 3 was introduced in 2018 and features 30 workloads containing nearly 140 tests. The developer updated the storage workloads that are based on traces of nearly two-dozen applications. We ran the storage workload (WPCstorge) and are using the results from just three of the tests to show the performance difference between the SSDs that we are testing. Individual scores are generated for each test and a composite score for each category is calculated based on a reference machine, yielding a “bigger is better” result. We are using the actual ‘raw score’ result in three tests that we want to show actual transfer rates rather than a composite score.

The first workload that we will be showing is a trace that uses Microsoft Visual Studio to compile a build of Mozilla Firefox browser. The ADATA Ultimate SU750 1TB does really well with this workload!

The next trace involves a Handbrake transcode and the ADATA Ultimate SU750 1TB didn’t do as hot on this workload as you can see from the results below.

In the 7zip workload the ADATA Ultimate SU750 1TB again struggled a bit and was the second slowest of the group of SATA III SSDs tested.
