Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.

Our speeds peak around 190 MB/s read and 170 MB/s write which is a fantastic set of results.

Next we want to try the HyperX Max 3.0 128GB connected to a USB 2.0 port.

When moving from USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 we can see a huge 454.7% increase with sequential reads and a 415.2% increase with 512k reading. 4k and 3k QD32 performance increases aren't quite as dramatic, but values between 160% and 172% are recorded.

Write performance is just as significant an improvement, even more so when we get to the 4k and 3k QD32 tests recording 411% and 330% increases respectively.
