The plain 'Rnd4K' one uses only a single queue and single thread. The 'Seq1M' traces use a 1MiB block size. The 'Seq128K Q32T1' sequential traces use 128K block size with a queue depth of 32 from a single thread, while the '4K Q32T16' one does random 4K accesses with the same queue configuration, but from multiple threads. Internally, CrystalDiskMark uses the Microsoft DiskSpd storage testing tool. Two of the traces are sequential accesses, while two are 4K random accesses. for example, uses four different access traces for reads and writes over a configurable region size. For this queue depth, the writes saturate at around 1.75 GBps and this is well south of the 2000 MBps claimed on the product packaging.ĬrystalDiskMark. It does allow the visualization of change in transfer rates as the I/O size changes, with optimal performance being reached around 4 MB for a queue depth of 4. ATTO benchmarking is restricted to a single configuration in terms of queue depth, and is only representative of a small sub-set of real-world workloads.
Kingston claims read and write speeds of up to 2000 MBps for all capacities, and the read side numbers are backed up by the ATTO benchmarks provided below.
Yet another use of these synthetic benchmarks is the ability to gather information regarding support for specific storage device features that affect performance. The results translate to the instantaneous performance numbers that consumers can expect for specific workloads, but do not account for changes in behavior when the unit is subject to long-term conditioning and/or thermal throttling. Synthetic Benchmarks - ATTO and CrystalDiskMarkīenchmarks such as ATTO and CrystalDiskMark help provide a quick look at the performance of direct-attached storage devices.
