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
Whilst the SSD performance is a little down when compared to what we know the drive can do, the USB3.0 performance is right up. With a write speed of just over 160MB/s we are able to get the highest level of performance that we have seen to date from our Supersonic Magnum flash drive. The read speeds are also similarly impressive with just over 300MB/s on offer.
