Performance
Performance has been tested on the latest AMD Ryzen platform. The platform contains the Ryzen 9 3900X processor and ASUS Crosshair VIII Impact motherboard. Some single tests were also performed on the AMD Threadripper 1920X and ASRock X399M motherboard.
All tests were performed on Windows 10 Pro x64 OS with the latest updates.
As usual, we will start with the ATTO Disk Benchmark in the latest version.
ATTO Disk Benchmark is showing high but lower than expected results. We are used to seeing lower bandwidth in the latest ATTO version, but It can also be related to the test platform.
Much better look CrystalDiskMark where we were able to pass 3450MB/s. It’s close to a maximum bandwidth, which is possible on popular motherboards, so this result is fully satisfying.
I’m presenting two results on the same drive but different platforms to show how the test platform affects our results. On older and in theory slower motherboard with the X399 chipset, we were able to achieve significantly better maximum bandwidth than on the latest X570 chipset. On the other hand, the X570 was much faster in random operations, which affect daily work much more.
The VPR100 uses the Phison E12 controller, which is one of the fastest options on the market. I assume that on the latest Intel chipset, we would get even better results, but it’s not available for tests right now.
PCMark 8 is showing one of the best results we’ve seen in our redaction. This benchmark, the same as PCMark 10, is simulating daily workload to present storage performance. Without any doubt, the VPR100 is fast.
Below are our results in PCMark 10. So far, it’s the highest bandwidth in this benchmark we’ve seen on a single SSD. Well done!
Below is the mentioned earlier difference in performance with enabled and disabled LED/RGB Sync.
On the left side is the disabled sync what gives us significantly higher bandwidth than on the right side where this feature is enabled. As I already said, it won’t affect overall performance much, but in benchmarks, it’s easy to see the difference. I assume it would be hard to provide the same performance since RGB data is using the same bus to communicate.
Regardless of the results with enabled LED sync, the VPR100 is one of the fastest SSD around and should deliver high performance to any gaming PC.
