PNY CS2111 XLR8 480GB SSD Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.3.


Overall performance is strong – showing around 520 MB/s and 445 MB/s in the sequential read and write tests, respectively. 4K QD32 shows a mid table level performance score.

The Silicon Motion SMI-2246 controller handles compressible and incompressible data equally well, which will help in certain environments – such as when dealing with large video files and images.


Above, some included compares from other leading solid state drives which we have reviewed.
