CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1 Results

CrystalDiskMark is an easy-to-run and quick utility to use to gauge a drive’s performance. It measures sequential read and write performance and random read and write speeds of random 4KB, 4KB (queue depth 32) and 512KB data.

The Kingston HyperX Fury uses Micron’s 128Gbit MLC NAND, the same employed in the Crucial M500, hence it was not surprising to see that their performance often mirrored each other. However, the HyperX Fury was clearly performing at a lower level and this could be attributed to the outdated SandForce SF-2281 controller. Write performances, in particular, was particularly poor when compared to the competition, and read performance, though more decent, was nothing to shout about either.
