Crucial P310 2280 2TB SSD Review

CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure the theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using v8.0.5.

Using CrystalDiskMark 8's 4K QD1 T1 test the P310 produced a read score of 82.75MB/s which puts it just inside the top 10 of drives we tested with this benchmark to date. Its write result of 255.29MB/s is pretty good too.

As you can see from the benchmark result screens the drive confirmed the official maximum Sequential figures of 7,100MB/s and 6,000MB/s for read and writes respectively with a default read test result of 7,206MB/s and a write test result that is some 300MB/s faster than the official figure.

That Sequential read result sees the drive in the bottom half of the results chart just behind Crucial's T500 drive although the T500 has a much faster write performance.

Peak Performance Profile

Using the Peak Performance profile of the CrystalDiskMark 8 benchmark we couldn't hit the official maximum random read / write figures of 1M IOPS and 1.2M IOPS respectively with best default test result figures of 785,164 IOPS for reads and 623,109 IOPS for writes.

Using the Peak Performance profile of the CrystalDiskMark benchmark we were once again able to confirm maximum official Sequential performance figures.

Real World Profile

Using CrystalDiskMark 8's Real World profile, the 2TB P310 2280 drive produced read and write scores of 3,999MB/s and 5,509MB/s, which puts the drive in the middle of the results chart.
