Crystal Disk Mark 3.0 is in the spotlight. Just a bit of background information; higher capacity drives tend to perform a little better in these tests.

In this particular benchmark, the ability of a controller and flash memory to deliver high IOPS will provide huge benefits to the score. The Ultra Plus, to some extent, bucks the SandForce performance signature, which is pretty interesting -- you can read and compare our results above.
