Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Threadripper platform which contains the TR 1920X CPU, ASRock X399M Taichi motherboard, 64GB DDR4-3000 memory kit, EVGA GTX1080Ti FE graphics card, and Enermax Platimax 750W 80+ Platinum PSU.
Recently has been released a new version of popular storage benchmark – ATTO Disk Benchmark 4. It offers a bit changed tests comparing to the previous release and it can’t be compared. Let’s check how the FURY RGB SSD works in this benchmark.
As we can see, read bandwidth is a bit below specified 550MB/s, while write bandwidth is even up to 25MB/s higher than expected. Results are pretty good considering that all other drives have quite low bandwidth in this benchmark. So far HyperX FURY RGB has the best results among the SATA SSD in sequential bandwidth.
IOPS benchmark results are not really important and as we already tested, are quite low on all tested drives so here is a screenshot just for reference.
CrystalDiskMark is probably the most popular storage benchmark in last months. The latest release is focusing more on a deeper queue or more threads what tests better the fastest drives.
The FURY RGB performs great in sequential bandwidth tests achieving more than declared. We can see up to 560MB/s read and up to 525MB/s write.
On the other hand, random Q1T1 results are not the best. Let’s say they’re average for inexpensive SSD. I guess that if we used a new Intel based motherboard then these results would be a bit better.
Interesting can be results in PCMark 8 which is showing typical load during daily work. On the list are popular programs and less demanding games.
The FURY RGB is showing not so bad performance and I doubt that most users would notice any difference between this drive and any faster.
Total score in PCMark 8 Storage benchmark is high. Worse looks storage bandwidth which is at about the same level as most SATA SSD.
We can’t compare HyperX FURY RGB to the fastest SSD series but it offers reasonable performance for most users, what includes gamers. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what SSD is in use, as long as it’s SSD. More demanding users can always take a look at higher SSD series which will be also more expensive.
