Crystal Disk Mark 6.0 is our third test in our battery of benchmarks. As a bit of background information, higher capacity drives tend to perform a little better in these tests. The ability of a controller and flash memory to deliver high IOPS will provide huge benefits to the score as well. Looking at the sequential read and write results, the Crucial P5 500GB was mixed throughout all of the tests. In the sequential read and write, the P5 500GB was seventh in read but ranked third for write. These are numbers that are both higher than the P2 and P1 500GB. In 4K, eight thread and eight queue tests, the P5 500GB was in the upper half of the write and read tests. Moving onto the 4K, 32 queue tests, the Crucial P5 500GB maintained its strong position here. However, in the single queue and thread test, the P5 fell quite behind in its write tests, while also slightly behind in its read. Overall, these numbers are still good, but some specific circumstances may expose the struggles of this new controller to deliver higher IOPS.
