Crucial MX100 512GB Solid State Drive Review

Anvil’s Storage Utilities


Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a new benchmarking utility that we have started using here at eTeknix, it’s completely free to download and has the ability to test mainly hard drives and solid state drives, but also any other form of storage medium that you can throw at it. As well as testing the drive in a variety of benchmarking tests, it also has a drive endurance test that consistently reads and writes data to the selected medium to give days, months and potentially even years of use in a shorter period of time to see how the drive copes in the longer term.

Unconditioned

Conditioned

The Anvils storage results give us a chart that is consistent with that of ATTO with the variance between a new and conditioned drive very minimal.

Drive Comparison

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

The use of a Marvell controller is a strong benefit to Crucial, giving the drive a higher position in the chart, once again above the M500 and even the M550 in both states.
