Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen platform, which contains the Ryzen 9 7950X CPU, ASUS Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard, Kingston FURY Renegade 32GB DDR5-7200@6200 memory kit, and Colorful RTX4080 Advanced OC 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 results are maybe not the highest, but they are still pretty respectable. The maximum read bandwidth is 4.90GB/s, while the maximum write bandwidth is 4.58GB/s. Both values are high.
The CrystalDiskMark results are higher than we can read in the product’s specifications. The maximum sequential bandwidth is around 5.2GB/s, and the maximum sequential write bandwidth is above 4.8GB/s.
The most interesting seem random bandwidth results and 4K IOPS. The 4K Q1T1 results are as high as on more expensive SSD, while IOPS passed 800K. These results were not so long time ago available only on the most expensive M.2 SSD. This is also what affects gaming performance the most.
UL benchmarks results are also higher than the specifications may suggest. Even though there are faster SSD, then the C910 delivers great scores on all tests.
The 3DMark Storage Benchmark score is surprisingly higher than that of the C930 SSD, which is supposed to be faster. Again, the C910 is not the fastest in this benchmark, but its results are clearly above the average and are comparable with some higher series SSD of competitive brands.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is an older benchmark but still popular, so why not 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 is quite demanding. This time we will focus on the read performance as it’s the most important for gaming.
The linear read test gave us amazing bandwidth of 6385MB/s! This is way higher than this SSD is supposed to reach. Just as a reminder, the C910 is specified for flat 5000MB/s sequential bandwidth, so it just exceded that by 1385MB/s!
The random read test is also very high, but not as high as the sequential one. On the other hand, 2740MB/s average bandwidth is not far from what a much more expensive SSD can do.
The KLEVV C910 SSD performs better than specified, and some results were absolutely not expected, and I could say that even impressive. If you are aware of the performance specified by KLEVV, then the C910 will for sure meet your expectations.
