Performance
Performance tests were performed on the MSI Z170I Gaming Pro AC motherboard with Intel USB 3.0/3.1 controller. However maximum bandwidth on USB ports may vary and as we had a chance to find out in the past, it can be a big difference. Even if we show higher or lower results than declared by manufacturers, it doesn’t mean that on other motherboard presented device won’t work faster or slower. There are many things that affect USB devices performance and I hope you understand that comparing test results.
ATTO Disk Benchmark
Now it’s time for couple of tests to check how JumpDrive M20c performs. As usual I will start from ATTO Disk Benchmark which is already market’s standard.
JumpDrive M20c performs slightly better than declared in data read but slightly worse in write. Write speed is not so important in this case but still counts. Results are good, especially that we can see good consistency of results. Work is stable and we haven’t seen any issues with sudden performance drops what also counts and you know what I’m talking about when you were trying to move really big files to USB storage or back to your hard drive.
CrystalDiskMark 5.0.2 x64
CrystalDiskMark is next really popular and free benchmark which provides results easy to compare. All our readers can easily check how fast are working their devices and compare to our results. I think it makes decision of future purchase easier.
Back to the CrystalDiskMark itself. Performance in sequential data transfers is similar to results in ATTO benchmark so above 150MB/s read and about 50MB/s write. Random transfers are also good and are above average for most flash drives we had a chance to test on the FunkyKit. JumpDrive M20c is about four times faster in random operations than average hard disk drive in a desktop PC. What does it mean ? It simply means that you can work on many small files much faster.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is next good storage benchmark which perfectly fits to our reviews. Achieved results are similar to what we could see in other benchmarks. Good performance in read department and slightly below expectations in writes. Random operations are again good.
Since we see similar results in all benchmarks then I can say that JumpDrive M20c is well prepared flash drive without firmware issues. It often counts more than maximum bandwidth.
General performance is good and it meets our expectations even though write bandwidth is a bit low. Probably on other motherboard it will look better. Mobile devices usually can’t support much higher bandwidth than 40MB/s so if you are planning to use JumpDrive M20c to move data from or to any mobile device then probably stable bandwidth will count more and for that, M20c beats many other flash drives which we had a chance to test.
