ADATA Ultimate SU750 1TB SATA III SSD Review

File Transfer, File Read and Game Load Times

Real World File Transfer

Let’s see how real-world performance was when writing a movie folder containing seven 1080P movies over to the SSD. For this test, we are going to measure write performance by copying a 30.6GB folder of movies off from the drive being tested back to itself to see how performance looks. This action is basically a long linear sequential write operation and punishes the SLC Cache on many drives.

When it comes to writing a bunch of data to the drive without any breaks, the ADATA Ultimate SU750 1TB drive finished this workload with an average speed of 183.4 MB/s. This is about what we expected for a DRAM-less drive.

Custom Read File Test

The next custom test that we are going to do is how fast each drive can read a compressed folder. For this we backed up a Steam copy of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for the test file. The compressed folder contains 59 titles and is 27.3 GB (29,409,916,771 bytes) in size.

The SU750 1TB drive got hammered on reading a compressed game folder as you can see from the results above.

Game Load Time Testing

Game Load Time Testing
To test game load times we used the benchmark for the game title Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers that was released in July 2019. We bumped up the resolution from 1080P to 1440P, but other than that we left all the settings at their stock values. Pretty much every SSD on the market today claims to be aimed at gamers, so this test shows you how the drives we tested perform on an actual game title in a series that every gamer has heard of.

Benchmark Results: When it comes to game load times the ADATA Ultimate SU750 was far from delivering the ultimate performance and it was the slowest of the drives tested.

Let’s wrap up this review!
