About Crystal Disk Mark
- Measure Sequential and Random Performance (Read/Write/Mix)
- Peak/Real World Performance Profile
From: Developer's Page
Crystal Disk Mark 8.0 is in the spotlight. Just 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. As manufacturer peak read and write performance ratings are usually achievable using Crystal Disk Mark, whether a drive lives up to its marketing claims or not can be validated by this program.
Crucial claims the T500 2TB's maximum read and maximum write are pinned at 7400MB/s and 7000MB/s, respectively. Looking at the read and write results, the T500 2TB was in the upper half or near the top in the sequential read and write sections against other PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives, but this was to be expected. The tested numbers were slightly lower than expected compared to the specifications. However, its fortunes were reversed in the RND4K tests, where its results were in the ballpark of other budget mainstream rather than performance drives. I will let you make your own comparisons in our list of NVMe SSDs in the graphs above.
