Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen platform, which contains the Ryzen 9 7950X CPU, Gigabyte B650E AORUS Master motherboard, ZADAK Spark RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 memory kit, and Powercolor RX6800XT Red Devil graphics card.
All tests were performed in Windows 11 Pro x64 environment with the latest updates. Windows 10 Pro x64 would probably give us better results as Microsoft still hasn’t fixed some performance issues in the latest OS. Either way, the results are great, and you can check them below.
As usual, in my storage reviews, I will start with the ATTO Disk Benchmark. It’s one of the most popular storage benchmarks, and results are easy to compare at home.
The ATTO benchmark usually shows results lower than expected, and also this time, we couldn’t see anything close to the maximum declared bandwidth. The 6.97GB/s read and 6.34GB/s write are still great results and probably the highest we’ve seen in this benchmark.
AMD chipset is not limiting us like Intel’s, so we can see over 7.44GB/s! Both read and write results are slightly above the declared. The maximum IOPS is as high as 1300k, which also makes it one of the best results on a single SSD that we’ve tested.
UL benchmarks are the only exception where the 2TB version of the GM7000 SSD was better. I’m not sure if it’s a matter of firmware or early motherboard BIOS, but I was counting on higher results in PCMark and 3DMark benchmarks.
Both benchmarks still show us some great results that beat most of the competition.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is an older benchmark but still popular, soprettynot use it?
Results in this benchmark are high, just not as high as declared in the SSD specification. It’s not a problem, as every benchmark uses a different test pattern and test files.
The last test is AIDA64, which shows us the performance based on random operations divided for reading and writing. These tests take about 21 minutes each on the 4TB SSD, so they are quite demandin.
Bo4 tests show amazing random performance. Results are nearly twice as high as anything I was testing before. It can be a madelighteded motherbB GM7000 SSD o resultsn the Intel Z690 motherboard could barely pass 3.2GB/s while the 4TB version passes 6.5GB/s!
The 00 SSD is even faster than the 2TB version, which we can see in the specifications, and also in our tests. It makes it one of the best options on the market for the most demanding users.
