CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v9.00 to test Gen 5 drives from now on.
Kioxia's Exceria Pro G2 does very well in the CrystalDiskMark 8 4K QD1 T1 test, with a read score of 101.28MB/s, the third fastest read score behind WD's Black SN8100 and Corsair's MP700 PRO XT drives. Its write result of 306.98MB/s is slower than the WD drive but faster than the Corsair.
As can be seen from the benchmarking result screens, using the default CrystalDiskMark test, the drive came up just a little short of the official maximums of 14,900MB/s for reads and up to 13,700MB/s for writes at 14,847MB/s and 13,681MB/s for reads and writes, respectively.
That read score of 14,847MB/s is good enough to place the drive into fourth place on the results chart.
Using the Peak Performance profile of CrystalDiskMark 9 with default settings, the 4K performance of the drive fell somewhat short of the official maximums of up to 2,300,000 IOPS for reads and up to 1,950,000 IOPS for writes, with test results of 2,063,466 IOPS for reads and 1,836,028 IOPS for writes. It might have been short of the maximum figure, but the test read result is still good enough to put the drive into third spot in the results chart.
Once again, we could confirm the official Sequential figures with test results of up 14,817MB/s for reads and up to 13,732MB/s for writes, a little shy of the official maximums but certainly in the ballpark.
Using the Real World profile tests in CrystalDiskMark 9, the drive produced Sequential read / write results of 9,832MB/s and9,957MB/s, respectively, putting it into second place on the results chart.
