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.
Netac claims the US9 512GB's maximum read and write are both pinned at 1000MB/s. Starting with the Seq1M Q8T1 test, the tested performance validated the specifications claims. Once again, this was faster than anything else on the list by a very wide margin. The same can be said in the Seq1M Q1T1 section. The random read and write results were not as dramatic, albeit still solid. In the RND4K Q32T1 tests, it was in the same ballpark as the Patriot Supersonic Rage Prime 1TB, but the latter was still faster by a measurable margin. The same goes about in the RND4K Q1T1 tests. I will let you make your own comparisons in our array of external USB flash drives in the graphs above.
