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)

Systems Comparison

Crucial’s M500 SSD is a good all-rounder when it comes to a budget drive. For a gaming system such as the Ultra Fusion, the need for high write speeds is not as much of a priority, although this does mean that your games may take a fraction longer to install.
