Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.
As expected, when dealing with incompressible data, overall performance suffers.
4k QD32 performance suffers, due to the incompressible data being used in this test.
When we enable the alternative ‘compressible’ setting called 0×00 fill, performance results increase dramatically.
Sequential read and write performance is actually very good, even when compared against class leading drives and the flagship Patriot Wildfire 120GB model.
