About Crystal Disk Mark
- Measure Sequential and Random Performance (Read/Write/Mix)
- Peak/Real World Performance Profile
From: Developer's Page
Crystal Disk Mark 9.0 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.
Sandisk claims the WD_BLACK SN8100 2TB's maximum read and maximum write are pinned at 14900MB/s and 14000MB/s write, respectively. Looking at the linear read and write results, the tested numbers were pretty close compared to the advertised numbers. The PCIe 5.0 NVMe-based SN8100 2TB and T710 2TB were remarkably close to each other, but the Sandisk drive had a very slight edge. The XPG drive seemed to have issues catching up in the Seq1M Q1T1 sections. In the RND4K benchmarks, the SN8100 was the fastest drive of the three, with some margins higher than others. Overall, the SanDisk WD_BLACK SN8100 2TB was a strong performer even in the context of other flagship PCIe 5.0-based NVMe SSDs. I will let you make your own comparisons on our list of NVMe SSDs in the graphs above.
