CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure the theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.
In CrystalDiskMark 8's 4K QD1 T1 test, the Corsair MP700 PRO splits the two versions of Crucial's T700 drive. It has a slightly faster read speed than the plain T700 but has a little slower write speed than both the Crucial drives.
As you can see from the benchmark result screens we can confirm the official Sequential read/write figures for the 2TB MP700 PRO of 12,400MB/s and 11,800MB/s respectively, with a best test read result of 12,397MB/s with writes at 11,821MB/s.
Those Sequential scores see the drive sitting in third place in the results chart just behind the two versions of Crucial's T700 drive but in truth, there is nothing much between all three drives in terms of Sequential performance in the default CrystalDiskMark 8 test.
Peak Performance profile.
With the Peak Performance profile could once again confirm the official Sequential performance figures with the drive slipping into third place behind the two Crucial drives.
Using the Peak Performance profile of the CrystalDiskMark benchmark we could confirm the official 4K random read/write figures for the drive of up to 1,500,000 IOPS for reads and up to 1,600,000 IOPS for writes and even bettered them a fraction with read/write test results of 1,567,072 IOPS and 1,623,311 IOPS respectively. That read IOPS figure is good enough for the second spot on the chart, but its write performance isn't as good as the two Crucial T700 drives it splits.
Real World profile.
Corsair's MP700 PRO sits in third place in the Real World Profile chart with Sequential read/write scores of 9.389MB/s and 9,929MB/s respectively.
