Crucial M500 480GB SSD Review

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)

Like AS SSD, CrystalDiskMark shows that the M500 has a very strong controller with the write speed closely matching that as seen previously within ATTO at the 1024k sector. On the 512K front within CrystalDiskMark, the drive maintains a high level of performance, almost matching that of the sequential speeds.
