Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen platform, which contains the Ryzen 9 5900X processor, ASUS B550-XE Gaming motherboard, ASUS Strix RTX3070 graphics card, 16GB DDR4-3600. Everything is installed in the Sharkoon Elite Shark CA700 chassis with Sharkoon SilentStorm Cool Zero 850W 80+ Gold PSU. All tests were performed in the Win10 Pro x64 environment.
Let’s begin as usual with the ATTO Disk Benchmark.
Results in the ATTO benchmark are high. Maybe not as high as we wish to see, but it’s common to see lower maximum bandwidth on this benchmark than that specified by the manufacturer.
CrystalDiskMark already shows what we wanted to see. The Delta MAX SSD passed 565MB/s what is pretty impressive for any SATA SSD. Random operations are also very high. Team Group already suggested that with 90k IOPS in the specifications, most SATA SSD are rated for not much than half.
Below are some results from PCMark 10. All results are about as high as that of the fastest SATA SSD series. Results can’t match any M.2 NVMe SSD but are still respectable.
Results in Anvil’s Storage Utilities are, as usual, not the highest while still pretty good.
In the end, AIDA64 Disk Benchmark results in random read and write operations.
Both read and write results are very high for the SATA SSD. Previously reviewed Crucial MX500 SSD was about 40MB/s slower in the average bandwidth.
The Delta MAX 1TB SSD is for sure one of the fastest SATA SSD on the market. Regardless of whether you have the latest PC or some older, the results shouldn’t be much different. Of course, this SSD is aimed at gamers and enthusiasts, so I recommend the Delta MAX series SSD.
