Benchmarks: CrystalDiskMark iii.0

The CrystalDiskMark sequential read numbers heavily favored the Kingston SNV425-S2 64GB and ADATA S596 Turbo 32GB drives, both of which provided a throughput greater than 240MB/south. The SNV425-S2 64GB lead the pack with an impressive 256MB/s while the third fastest SSD was the Intel X25-5 40GB topping out at 190MB/due south.

Both the OCZ Agility 2 and Vertex 2 40GB drives were quite tiresome in this test with a throughput of just 150MB/due south. This fabricated them only slightly faster than the OCZ Onyx 32/64GB drives which were limited to ~130MB/s.

The sequential write functioning trends are quite dissimilar and hither we run into that the conventional Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB hard drive performs very well. In fact the Kingston SNV425-S2 64GB was the simply SSD to beat the Samsung HDD and it did so convincingly providing 50% more performance. The Seagate Momentus XT 500GB was just a fraction slower than the Samsung HDD making information technology the 3rd fastest drive tested.

This fourth dimension the OCZ Agility 2 and Vertex two 40GB drives were able to defeat the ADATA S596 Turbo 32GB and Intel X25-5 40GB SSDs with a throughput of 74MB/s. The ADATA S596 Turbo 32GB and OCZ Onyx 32/64GB drives all delivered roughly the same performance in this test with a throughput of 56-58MB/south. The Intel X25-Five 40GB was the slowest drive tested as we found it unable to evangelize more than than 42MB/s in this test.

The random 512K test shows quite unlike functioning to that of the sequential read/write tests. The ADATA S596 Turbo 32GB does very well in the read test with a throughput of 205MB/south. The Intel X25-V 40GB and Kingston SNV425-S2 64GB both delivered around 157-158MB/south making them slightly faster than the OCZ Agility two and Vertex 2 40GB drives which provided a throughput of 146MB/s.

The OCZ Onyx 32/64GB drives were again the slowest SSDs tested delivering just 119MB/s. However at the bottom of the graph we accept the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB that was limited to 43MB/s making it noticeably slower than the Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB.

The random 512K exam puts the OCZ Agility two and Vertex ii 40GB SSDs at the elevation of the graph as they provided a throughput of 73MB/s. The next fastest drives were the OCZ Onyx 32/64GB SSDs, then followed past the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB and the Samsung Spinpoint F1.

The Intel X25-V 40GB was slightly slower than the Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB desktop hard drive, while the Kingston SNV425-S2 64GB and ADATA S596 Turbo 32GB which performed and so well in the read exam were the slowest drives in the write test.

At present for the random 4K read results with a queue depth of 32. The Intel X25-V 40GB dominated the read examination and this is likely what helped information technology win our Windows 7 loading test. With a throughput of 135MB/s the Intel X25-5 40GB was l% faster than the OCZ Agility 2 and Vertex ii 40GB SSDs which claimed second and third place. Again the OCZ Onyx drives outmuscled the ADATA S596 Turbo 32GB and Kingston SNV425-S2 64GB SSDs which were very dull here, particularly the Kingston drive which sustained just 13MB/southward.

Traditional hard drives perform even worse as the Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB managed simply 1.5MB/s and the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB was the slowest by far.

Although the Intel X25-V 40GB sustains a leading position in the 4K-QD32 write exam, the OCZ Agility ii and Vertex 2 40GB drives strike dorsum with an astonishing 70% pb. This is likely what explains the strong performance seen from these OCZ drives in our game file and programme file real-world re-create tests.

The Intel X25-Five 40GB which provided a throughput of 41MB/s was 4 times faster than the next quickest SSD, the ADATA S596 Turbo 32GB which managed but 10MB/s. The OCZ Onyx 32/64GB drives were express to 6MB/due south while the Kingston SNV425-S2 64GB provided simply 4MB/southward. The Seagate Momentus XT 500GB and Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB both produced less than 1MB/s in this examination.
