Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen platform that contains the Ryzen 9 7950X, 16-core processor, ASUS Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard, ADATA Lancer Mera Edition 32GB DDR5-7200@6200 memory kit, and Crucial P5 Plus 2TB M.2 SSD with installed Win11 Pro x64. All tests were performed on the Crucial X10 Pro 2TB SSD.
Let’s begin as usual with the ATTO Disk Benchmark.
Results in ATTO Benchmark are, as usual, lower than specified, but at the same time, are high for the X10 Pro SSD. The maximum read is 1.99GB/s, and the maximum write is 1.48GB/s.
In CrystalDiskMark, we can see much better results. The maximum linear read is 2119MB/s, and the write is 1832MB/s. It’s a pretty good result, even though we wish to see higher numbers.
PCMark 10 results are surprisingly good for a portable SSD. They are not the highest compared to the M.2 PCIe SSD, but we can efficiently work on the X10 Pro SSD without the need to copy the data to another drive.
About the same says 3DMark Storage Benchmark. It’s not the best score we’ve seen, but it’s a portable SSD, so it’s more than enough for everything we may need.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a rather old benchmark but is still popular. This benchmark usually shows lower results than the ATTO or the CrystalDiskMark.
In the end, the AIDA64 Disk Benchmark results in linear and random reads.
Regardless of the test, we could see close to 2GB/s bandwidth in this benchmark. This is amazing, especially when we look at performance in random operations. The USB bus is slowing down, but it’s the best we can get using modern technology.
If you are searching for the fastest SSD for daily work, then the X10 Pro is the answer. I’m sure anyone who decides on this SSD will be satisfied.
