Performance
Performance has been tested on the desktop PC, based on the Intel i5-12600K, 6-core processor, ASUS Strix Z690I-Gaming motherboard, and Kingston Fury Beast 32GB DDR5-5200 RAM.
All tests were performed in the Windows 10 x64 environment.
Let’s begin with the ATTO Disk Benchmark, one of the most popular applications designed to measure storage bandwidth.
As expected, the read bandwidth in the latest ATTO benchmark is a bit lower than specified, so about 4.71GB/s. The write bandwidth is closer, at about 4.55GB/s. In general, these results are pretty good.
In the CrystalDiskMark, results are already exceeding the specified maximum bandwidth. The P400 achieved up to 5035MB/s sequential read and 4810MB/s sequential write. These numbers are already great, but the most important for daily work is how the SSD acts in random operations. CrystalDiskMark shows that the P400 reaches the performance of the more expensive SSD from the competition’s higher shelf.
Even better if we test the drive in benchmarks that simulate popular applications and typical work on a personal computer. Recently UL released 3DMark Storage Benchmark, which suggests the performance in popular games. Of course, we had to add it to our list, and you can see the result below.
3DMark Storage Benchmark shows some exceptional results. Even though there are faster SSD on the market, the higher level of performance usually costs much more.
Below are also storage benchmarks made in the PCMark 10. Since most operations are random, the average bandwidth is pretty high as in 3DMark or CrystalDiskMark.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities usually shows lower bandwidth, but in this case, it’s limited to lower than expected read bandwidth. Random performance results are once again relatively high.
Below are the AIDA64 Disk Benchmark results. Both tests are pretty demanding and focus on random read and write.
One more time, the results are outstanding, considering that the P400 isn’t the highest series SSD. It still delivers excellent performance for work or gaming.
