About AIDA64 Engineer

AIDA64 Engineer has a hardware detection engine unrivaled in its class. It provides detailed information about installed software and offers diagnostic functions and support for overclocking. As it is monitoring sensors in real time, it can gather accurate voltage, temperature and fan speed readings, while its diagnostic functions help detect and prevent hardware issues. It also offers a couple of benchmarks for measuring the performance of individual hardware components or the whole system. It is compatible with all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows editions, including Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.

Since our SSD review benchmark results are presented in alphabetical order, first up on the list are results from one of our favorite benchmarking programs, AIDA64 Engineer. Just to note, AIDA64 Engineer is a full synthetic benchmark. Unlike full synthetic motor oil, this usually does not always carry a good connotation. While it is not a representation of real life performance -- such as how fast Photoshop opens -- it does provide valuable insight into performance between different drives and different controllers. As you can see in our graphs above, the Crucial BX500 480GB was comparable against other budget drives in the category like the Kingston UV500, Gigabyte UD PRO, and its predecessor, the BX300. The tested random access time was 0.03ms, which was a step back from its predecessor. The rest of the comparison results against all the other drives can be seen in our graphs above.
