PNY XLR8 CS3040 1TB SSD Review

We used CrystalDiskMark 8 to test the random performance of the drive at lower queue depths (QD1 – QD8 where most of the everyday workloads occur) using 1 to 4 threads.

Random Reads

The drive powers through the read part of the test without displaying any problems. The drive’s performance increasing smoothly as the queue depth deepens in each of the tested threads.

Random Writes

In the write tests, the drive's performance seems to slow down a little between QDs 2 and 4 in each of the tested threads before picking up again between QDs 4 and 8.
