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.

Compared to the older Vertex 450, the Vertex 460 features much improved read performance by around 5% overall across the different workloads. Handling of small 4K data blocks saw the biggest improvements overall. Despite the improvements, the flagship Vector 150 handily beats the Vertex 460. Interesting also is that the Samsung SSD 840 EVO is able to outperform the Vertex 460 right up until the more intensive 4K, 64 threads workload.
