Not only does it have a preset SSD benchmark, but also, it has included such things as endurance testing and threaded I/O read, write and mixed tests, all of which are very simple to understand and utilize in our benchmark testing.Īnvil Pro provides us with a bit more information by displaying response times, MB read as well as a look at total IOPS. The SSD Review has been fortunate to assist in beta testing of new storage benchmark software, called Anvil’s Storage Utilities, which is the best single benchmark we have seen to date. The 4k random write disk access score is key here as it is one of the best results we have seen from any flash drive.ĪNVIL STORAGE UTILITY PROFESSIONAL (BETA)

I bought this USB so I could have a fast install media to install windows. Id be interested in the results of other peoples USB drives. For comparison this is my old USB 2.0 Pico drive on a USB 3.0 port.

This is the first test I did while I had the official Gigabyte USB 3.0 drivers installed. The numbers look a bit different with AS SSD but, again, this is because we have moved to testing incompressible data in addition to the fact that AS SSD provides the final result as being the average of all tests whereas Crystal DiskMark looks for the highest result. Ive run a few tests with crystal disk mark. Obsolete Projects VirtualChecker A Virtualization Features Status Checker. CrystalDiskMark A simple disk benchmark software. Many enthusiasts like to AS SSD for their needs. CrystalDiskInfo A HDD/SSD utility software which supports S.M.A.R.T. AS SSD, for the most part, gives us the ‘worst case scenario’ in SSD transfer speeds while using ‘SandForce Driven’ SSDs as they use compression in storage as discussed earlier. Up until recently, ATTO was the only benchmark created specifically for SSD testing and it uses incompressible data. Of particular note, however, is the all important low 4k random write result of 48MB/s which is the highest we have seen in a USB drive. We chose to use 0Fill or highly compressible data with Crystal Disk Mark as it would provide a bit of confirmation for the ATTO result although CDM scoring is typically a bit lower as can be seen here.

Many new SSD owners who can’t wait to test the performance of their SSD often grab this program and run a quick test, not realizing that they are testing with incompressible data rather than compressible data used in testing by manufacturers. Crystal Disk Benchmark is used to measure read and write performance through sampling of raw (0/1 Fill/compressible) or random data which is, for the most part, incompressible.
