CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using v8.0.

With a read score of 77.89MB/s for CrystalDiskMark 8's 4K QD1 test, Solidigm's P41 Plus just creeps into the top 10 in our results chart. Its write test result of 235.25MB/s isn't as strong, however.

As you can see from the benchmark result screens we could confirm the official read/write figures of 4,125MB/s and 2,950MB/s respectively with a read result of 4,191.89MB/s and writes at 2,966.12MB/s.

Although we managed to squeeze a wee bit more performance out of the drive under testing, it wasn't enough to lift it any higher up the results chart than the second-slowest position in our charts.

Switching over to the Peak Performance profile in CrystalDiskMark 8 we could again confirm the official Sequential ratings with a read test result of 4,218.06MB/s (which is 93MB/s faster than the official figure) and 2,975MB/s for writes.

Using the Peak Performance profile of the CrystalDiskMark benchmark we could confirm the official random read rating of up to 225,000 IOPS with a best test read result of 226,616 IOPS (default data), while the best write result of 514,222 IOPS came using the 0 fill test settings and is just shy of the official maximum of 520,000 IOPS.

 

Using the Real World profile the drive produced Sequential read/write figures of 3.042MB/s and 2,898MB/s respectively.
