Performance
The performance has been tested on the Intel platform, which contains the Core Ultra 7 265K CPU, ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard, Teamgroup Xtreem 48GB DDR5-8400 memory kit, and Nvidia RTX 4080 graphics card.
All tests were performed in a Windows 11 Pro x64 environment with the latest updates.
As usual, 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 pretty good. We barely see the bandwidth matching the specifications in this benchmark, so slightly lower results are still satisfactory. The X10 SSD reached 1.01GB/s read and 0.51GB/s write, which is not great but perfectly normal for this type of SSD.
The CrystalDiskMark results are significantly better. Our test rig can see up to 1.06GB/s read and around 1.01GB/s write. Write is slightly below the specified, but can be related to the test platform.
Random low queue (Q1T1) read is pretty good for a USB SSD, so we can expect high performance on many small files, like reading an extensive photo library.
The PCMark 10 Storage benchmark results are also not bad for a USB SSD, but could be better.
The same story applies to the 3DMark Storage Benchmark. We could expect slightly higher results, but it’s still above average.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is an old benchmark, which often shows lower-than-expected results. In this case, the results are lower than specified, but still pretty good for a USB SSD.
Blackmagic storage benchmark gives us pretty good results for a portable storage. We may have problems with 12K resolution, but it’s not popular, and I doubt anyone would work with such files on a USB SSD. Popular formats for mobile devices will be fully supported directly on the PX10 SSD.
We had no problems with the S1 SSD during our tests. Everything passed without issues. Some tests showed exceptional results, while others could have been better. Overall, the performance is average but suitable for a USB 3.2 Gen2 SSD. We could even say it’s pretty good for a USB 3.2 Gen2x1 – 10 Gbps storage, which seems to be the most popular standard in modern devices.
