CrystalDiskMark
CrystalDiskMark is a small HDD benchmark utility for your hard drive that enables you to rapidly measure sequential and random read/write speeds.
Here are some key features of “CrystalDiskMark”:
- Sequential reads/writes
- Random 4KB/512KB reads/writes
- Text copy
- Change dialog design
- internationalization (i18n)
Unconditioned
Conditioned
Like ATTO’s baseline performance, CrystalDiskMark shows that there is virtually no deviation in the drives performance as the NAND wears. This means that even though the Fury is cheap, you’re not going to suffer from a massive drop in performance down the line as a result.
Drive Comparison
For the purpose of drive comparison I use the performance figures from both unconditioned and conditioned tests with 0% data fill.
Looking at the wider picture, the Fury is not that far behind of other drives when taking note of the read speeds, however if we were to rearrange the chart based on write performance, it would be close to the bottom.
