Performance Testing and Results
For performance testing, I used my 24/7 system which contains the following:
| CPU: | Intel Core i7 3570k |
| RAM: | G. Skill RipjawsX 2133 7-10-7 |
| Motherboard: | Biostar TZ77XE4 |
| GPU: | Gigabyte GTX660Ti |
| Storage: | OCZ Vertex 3 240GB MaxIOPS |
| PSU: | Antec HCP-850 |
| Case: | Thermaltake Armor Revo |
Plenty to feed a flash drive, that’s for sure. Let’s get straight to the results, I started with ATTO.
ATTO
Here we see 20MB/s writes achieved at the 32k file size, and 45MB/s reads at 64k. That’s pretty good. Even at low file sizes the speed isn’t bad. This is solid.
CrystalDiskMark
Pretty much the same deal here. Write speeds aren’t exactly fast at the 4k level, this isn’t surprising though as there isn’t any external cache and there are only two flash chips.
CheckFlash
This is a new benchmark (to me, anyway), it’s brutal and I like it.
No errors, which is good. I’d be depressed if there were errors! We get slightly slower average speeds, but still very close to the specification. I approve.
