Storage and USB Performance
CrystalDiskMark – Sequential Read
The Samsung 850 EVO offers fantastic read speeds and eclipsed many other products utilising the SATA interface. Of course, NVMe solutions are in a different league and this is to be expected given the price difference. The system’s secondary drive fared pretty well and achieved an average figure just below 200MB/s. On another note, the USB 3.0 rate was good.
CrystalDiskMark – Sequential Write
Here we can see the boot SSD has a wonderful write result given the SATA format and easily defeated a large number of other storage options. The mechanical drive’s write performance wasn’t noteworthy but it’s perfectly acceptable. The USB 3.0 write rate was pretty decent and almost exceeded 160MB/s.
