Dell XPS 15 9530 Review

The Dell XPS 15 9530 makes use of a 32GB caching SSD, so despite ‘only' packing a 500GB HDD, its performance should be up there with some of the SSD equipped notebooks.

In the CrystalDiskMark benchmark it scores very well indeed, putting out results that traditional hard drives alone could only dream of.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

Here we actually see improved performance over the Crystal DiskMark results. Read speeds break the 550MBps barrier at a lot of file sizes and write performance is clearly a few points higher. Impressively too, it doesn't die off as quickly as many single SSD solutions.
