The Silicon Power Armor A30 seems to be topping our charts so far, and now our next benchmark is Crystal Disk Mark. First with the sequential read and write tests, which provided results very similar to both of our previous benchmarks, AIDA64 and ATTO. The next test of 512K write have been known to slaughter most flash drives in terms of performance, bringing them to a screeching halt. Luckily, the Silicon Power Armor A30 still remains above both of ADATA's portable hard drives, as well as write speeds surpassing quite a few USB 3.0 thumb drives. Moving to 4K and 4K QD32 place, which tests for high input/output operations per second (Commonly known as IOPS), the Armor A30 falls back to where we expect most external hard drives to be. Looking at the ADATA DashDrive Durable HD650, the Armor A30 still remains slightly faster, but the margins still remain close at a maximum difference of five megabytes per second.
