![]() ![]() You may also click on a specific test on the left-hand side, to only perform that test (e.g. To get started, select the disk from the top drop-down (it defaults to the disk holding your home directory), then click on All to perform all the available tests. When you first run the application you'll notice an interface similar to CrystalDiskMark, with 4 disk benchmarking tests, each with read and write columns. It's also worth noting that even though the latest KDiskMark version at the time I'm writing this article is 1.6.2, the application is quite new, having its initial release in the beginning of July 2020. The application can also generate benchmark reports ( File -> Save) that you can use to easily share the benchmark results with others, and for future comparisons.ĭespite its name (starting with K), this Qt5 application does not have any KDE-specific dependencies, so you can install it no matter what desktop environment you're using without having to install a large number of dependencies. Under the hood, it uses FIO (Flexible I/O Tester), and it features configurable block size, queues, and threads count for each test. KDiskMark comes with a simple user interface, very similar to the one used by CrystalDiskMark, with presets. Thanks for another excellent review, Les.KDiskMark is a free and open source alternative to CrystalDiskMark (which is Windows only) for Linux, a GUI HDD / SSD benchmarking software. Seriously though, it’s time to build a new PC with all new components, except for the case (Antec Solo).īTW, Crucial Storage Executive still reports that my MX100 is almost like new. ![]() I think I heard somewhere that patience is a virtue. My PC might be as slow as molasses compared to all of the new hardware, but it still works okay for being all 2014 hardware. In the meantime, I’m still stuck with a sequential read/write around 500 MB/s and random 4K read/write of 33.8 and 136.1 MB/s. While I don’t know if this drive reviewed here is the fastest at random 4K, it still looks very good to me. Since I’m one of the “typical consumer desktop” users, I still pay very close attention to the random 4K Q1T1. I’m still using the MX100 (with all of the same components), but I plan on upgrading after we see finished-product E18 reviews, and AMD Zen3 CPUs become more plentiful. Right after you released this review, I built a new PC using the MX100 with all new components. High queue depth speed results over queue depths 3-5 usually don’t matter much for typical consumer desktop usage.” “While such high IOPS are nice to see, most consumers should be looking at the 4K performance of the drive. This reminds me of one of the many reasons I bought a 512GB Crucial MX100, based on your review on June 12, 2014: “Not only are the throughput and IOPS high sequentials looking very good, but also, low 4k random read and write throughput is solid.” The Real World File Transfer Comparison is amazing! I suspect that with some firmware tweaking they’ll speed up the music and photo transfer as well. Simply click on the title for a free copy. Advanced load bench-marking can be configured, as well as full drive information and data erasing via secure erase, enhanced secure erase, TRIM and overwriting. ![]() TxBench is one of our newly discovered benchmarks that we works much the same as Crystal Diskmark, but with several other features. The AJA Video Systems Disk Test is relatively new to our testing and tests the transfer speed of video files with different resolutions and Codec. Not only does it have a preset SSD benchmark, but also, it has included such things as endurance testing and threaded I/O read, write and mixed tests, all of which are very simple to understand and use in our benchmark testing. The benchmark displays test results for, not only throughput but also, IOPS and Disk Access Times. Transfer speeds are displayed on the left with IOPS results on the right.Īnvil’s Storage Utilities (ASU) are the most complete test bed available for the solid state drive today. For the most part, AS SSD tests can be considered the ‘worst case scenario’ in obtaining data transfer speeds and many enthusiasts like AS SSD for their needs. The toughest benchmark available for solid state drives is AS SSD as it relies solely on incompressible data samples when testing performance. Not only are the throughput and IOPS high sequentials looking very good, but also, low 4k random read and write throughput is solid. Right about now, things are starting to look real good for the WD Black SN850. Performance is virtually identical, regardless of data sample so we have included only that using random data samples. ![]() Crystal Disk Benchmark is used to measure read and write performance through sampling of random data which is, for the most part, incompressible. ![]()
