Angelbird SSD wrk 256GB Solid State Drive Review

CrystalDiskMark

CrystalDiskMark is a small HDD benchmark utility for your hard drive that enables you to rapidly measure sequential and random read/write speeds.

Here are some key features of “CrystalDiskMark”:

• Sequential reads/writes
• Random 4KB/512KB reads/writes
• Text copy
• Change dialog design
• internationalization (i18n)

Unconditioned

Conditioned

I had to run these tests a couple of times to make sure I hadn’t made any errors. The results are all so close all the way through, that it could be normal variations on the same test run over and over, instead of four individual load levels in two age groups.

Drive Comparison

For the purpose of drive comparison I use the performance figures from both unconditioned and conditioned tests with 0% data fill.

This drive will just not stop performing. The stability of the performance is great and the SSD wrk places itself firmly in the upper end of the charts.
