Crucial MX100 512GB Solid State Drive Review

ATTO

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.

Unconditioned

Conditioned

Consistency is a key area that we are keen to look at as the market becomes swarmed with ‘high performing’ drives. The baseline performance that we see from the 512GB model is very promising with virtually no drop in performance as the volume used rises.

Drive Comparison

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

Considering the MX100 is built as a direct replacement for the M500, it’s good to see that on both the read side and more notably on the write side, the drive has more performance to offer, sticking it in the middle of the performance stack.
