Lexar Blaze Portable Gaming SSD Review

Our performance is going to be somewhat tied to the system and pots that we use when testing, so for the fairest chance, I used the included UDB-C to USB-C cable in a high-speed port on our motherboard. The performance we saw was good though, the read speeds we saw matched up to what we expected based on the advertised speed, but this test didn’t do quite so well in the write speeds, but for a gaming drive the read speed is what is most important since you want the games stored on it to load faster.

Here we see the Blaze getting much more performance in the write speeds than we did before, with the read speeds matching pretty well to what we saw before. What we saw here is performance that lines up pretty perfectly with what was advertised.

In ATTO Disk Benchmark we saw the performance lining up with what we saw in Crystal Disk Mark, with the read speeds being as advertised and the write speeds falling a little behind.
