Out of the box is factory formatted as exFAT but for testing purposes, we re-formatted it in NFTS.
CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using V7.
The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage system's performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturer's RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.
AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.
Kingston rate the XS2000 at up to 2,000MB/s for both Sequential reads and writes. Using CrystalDiskMark7 we could confirm the 2,000MB/s read performance with a best test figure of 2,083MB/s (CrystalDiskMark 7 default). The best write performance we saw was 1,883MB/s using the Peak Performance profile in CrystalDiskMark.
