CrystalDiskMark
CrystalDiskMark is a disk benchmark software.It measure sequential reads/writes speed,measure random 512KB, 4KB, 4KB (Queue Depth=32) reads/writes speed, select test data (Random, 0Fill, 1Fill), provide theme support and Multi-Language support.
During our CrystalDiskMark tests, we managed to get excellent read speeds of between 4,861-2,907 MB/sec. While writes speeds reached a high of between 2,500-2,311 MB/sec, which is what we expected and falls within our expectations.
