Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen platform that contains the Ryzen 9 7950X, 16-core processor, Gigabyte X870E AORUS Pro ICE motherboard, Kingston Renegade RGB 96GB DDR5-6400 memory kit, and Acer Predator GM7000 2TB M.2 SSD with installed Win11 Pro x64. All tests were performed on the Silicon Power US75 2TB SSD.
Let’s begin as usual with the ATTO Disk Benchmark.
As usual in the ATTO benchmark, the results are not as high as we wish, but 6.82GB/s read and 5.62GB/s write bandwidth are still pretty good.
In CrystalDiskMark, the sequential bandwidth reaches 7.32GB/s, while the low queue 4K random read is over 85MB/s, and IOPS is up to 1050K. Since a motherboard with an AMD chipset was used for the tests, these results are as high as expected and pretty good for any PCIe 4.0 SSD.
The results in PCMark 10 are also as high as expected. Since the SSD has a DRAM-less design, it performs slightly worse in more demanding tests, but our results are still pretty high.
The 3DMark Storage Benchmark shows excellent results for an SSD with a Maxio controller. Most SSDs have a score closer to a flat 3000. This score suggests that the US75 can compete with higher and more expensive PCIe 4.0 SSDs in gaming.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a rather old benchmark, but still popular. Although it usually shows lower results than the ATTO or the CrystalDiskMark, this doesn’t change the fact that the results are pretty high.
The Blackmagic storage benchmark focuses on decoding performance, giving us a different perspective.
The US75 does not have the highest, but it still has pretty good results. What’s most important is that it handles all the decoding formats.
Ultimately, the AIDA64 Disk Benchmark results in random read and write operations.
Both results are pretty average for SSDs with Maxio controllers. The performance is quite consistent, and we haven’t seen significant bandwidth drops during the test, which often suggests thermal throttling or lack of cache memory.
The US75 SSD didn’t throttle at all in all our tests. The temperature was around 50°C for most tests, which is pretty low for any SSD series. Our test results confirm the US75 SSD’s high performance and perfectly stable work during extended workloads. However, it’s not an SSD for the most demanding users, who should probably check the latest Silicon Power PCIe 5.0 options.
