ADATA Premier Pro SP920 SSD (512GB) Review – An Exceptional SSD At A Great Price

AS SSD BENCHMARK VER. 1.7

AS SSD Benchmark uses incompressible data in their testing of SSDs, essentially providing results that would be consistent with using the heaviest workload, thus lower speeds are expected. Transfer speeds (MB/s) are seen in the left picture below and IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) are on the right.

Our third benchmark tool has proven that the SP920 still performs very well when using incompressible data, hence why we insist on using a multitude of different testing parameters to gauge the quality of the SSD’s. Another interesting feature of the AS SSD Benchmark is that it also can test  durations and speeds of copying various files, this is an important test for our digital media professionals who require top transfer speeds.

As you can see above, the time for the SP920 to transfer an ISO file is a mere 2.67 seconds. However, the time, and speed, for the game transfer is a little less appealing than we would have liked to see.

ANVIL STORAGE UTILITIES PROFESSIONAL (BETA)

Anvil Storage Utilities is essentially an all-in-one tool for all of your SSD benchmarking needs. Anvil can be used for basic consumer testing, as well as endurance testing and threaded I/O read, write and mixed tests. It displays data regarding the SSD, and even about your system.

Our all-in-one benchmark tool, Anvil’s Storage Utility, returned read and write results that are similar to what we have seen previously. As well, the SP920 achieved a total score of 4735, a fairly decent score.

PCMARK VANTAGE X64 HDD SUITE

Technology X uses benchmark software called PCMark Vantage x64 HDD Suite to create testing scenarios that might be used in the typical user experience. There are eight tests in all and the tests performed record the speed of data movement in MB/s to which they are then given a numerical score after all of the tests are complete. The simulations are as follows:

  • Windows Defender In Use
  • Streaming Data from storage in games such as Alan Wake which allows for massive worlds and riveting non-stop action
  • Importing digital photos into Windows Photo Gallery
  • Starting the Vista Operating System
  • Home Video editing with Movie Maker which can be very time-consuming
  • Media Center which can handle video recording, time shifting and streaming from Windows media center to an extender such as Xbox
  • Cataloging a music library
  • Starting applications

ADATA Premier Pro SP920 VANTAGE TOTAL SCORE

The ADATA Premier Pro SP920 achieved a total score of 71475, which is a very good score. Out of all the benchmark tests ran throughout the HDD suite of PCMark Vantage, the highest transfer speed recorded was 422 MB/s when video editing in Windows Media Center.

ADATA Premier Pro SP920 SSD VANTAGE

ADATA has definitely proven that they are a force to be reckoned with so far this year. We first checked in with them at CES, where we got to see their newly coloured DRAM modules, wireless device charging technology, as well as their line up of new solid state drives. Shortly thereafter, ADATA released their SSD Toolbox software, which allows for you to monitor the health of your ADATA solid state drive. Today, ADATA goes one step further by releasing the ADATA Premier PRO SP920 SSD, and we have the opportunity to take an in-depth look at the 512GB model.…
