Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen platform, which contains the Ryzen 9 7950X CPU, Gigabyte X870E AORUS Pro ICE motherboard, Kingston Renegade RGB 96GB DDR5-6400 memory kit, and Colorful RTX4080 Advanced OC graphics card.
All tests were performed in a Windows 11 Pro x64 environment with the latest updates.
As usual in my 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 maximum read bandwidth in the ATTO benchmark is 13.69GB/s, while the maximum write bandwidth is 12.09GB/s. Both values are high for this benchmark, as we usually see about 1GB/s below the declared bandwidth.
The CrystalDiskMark sequential bandwidth results are significantly higher than the maximum declared—up to 14420MB/s read and 12918MB/s write. This makes the G560 one of the fastest SSDs on the market. Additionally, tests show fantastic IOPS results – up to 1787K when the specifications say 1400K.
PCMark 10 Storage benchmark results are also on top of the list. Maybe two other SSDs (also based on the Phison E26 controller) were close to these results.
The 3DMark Storage Benchmark shows the best score we could achieve on a single SSD and AMD chipset. It is about 200 points higher than the second-best score on the Crucial T705 SSD.
The Blackmagic benchmark also gave us some good results. Most importantly, it confirms that the SSD is fast enough to handle all possible video decoding formats.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is an older benchmark but still popular, so why not use it?
The results in this benchmark are pretty average and not as high as declared in the SSD specification. However, this is not a problem, as every benchmark uses a different test pattern and test files.
The last test is AIDA64, which is quite demanding, especially in random read and write tests.
The random read test gave us an average bandwidth of 2485.5MB/s, which is the average for Phison E26 SSDs. The CPU load during this test was relatively low—around 5%. We could see other SSDs going even as high as 70%.
The random write is also not the highest, with an average bandwidth of 3476.4MB/s. It’s not the highest but it is about the same as most PCIe 5.0 SSDs on the market.
The KLEVV G560 is one of the fastest SSDs we can get. It beats most other SSDs based on the Phison E26 controller, and only a few can compete with it for the top scores. This is an interesting option if you are searching for the fastest SSD.
