AIDA64 Disk Information
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.
The CrystalDiskMark results show the read performance of the M700 to be around 2072-2086Mb/s, which is very good. While write performance was reached a high of 1679MB/sec. These read/write speeds were well above the specified rates as described by BIOSTAR. So well done BIOSTAR!
ATTO Disk Benchmark
ATTO has created a widely-accepted Disk Benchmark freeware software to help measure storage system performance. As one of the top tools utilized in the industry, Disk Benchmark identifies performance in hard drives, solid state drives, RAID arrays as well as the host connection to attached storage.
The same is true when we ran the ATTO Disk Benchmark. Both read and write speeds were above our expectations.
Anvil Storage
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a powerful tool that was designed in order to provide you with a simple means of assessing the read and writer performance of your Solid State Drive or Hard Disk Drive.
IOPS for the M700 hit 157,759 for the 4KQD16 read test. For 4KQD16 write test, it reached an impressive score of 242,042 . Overall score was 11,523.92.
