Here we test the Defiance III's storage performance, using CrystalDiskMark 5.1.1 and ATTO Disk Benchmark 2.47
SanDisk X400 SSD
Great speeds from the SATA 3 SSD. It is not at the same level of PCIe-based storage solutions, but it tops out right at the ceiling of the SATA 3 interface.
Seagate SSHD
I was slightly disappointed with the SSHD speeds, however. For a standard hard drive, they would be fine – but the small SSD cache does not seem to help in these synthetic tests.
