CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure the theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.
Klevv's GENUINE G560 drops into the third spot in the results chart for the CrystalDiskMark 8 4K QD1 T1 test with a test result of 87.97MB/s. However, its write result of 316.50MB/s is the slowest we've seen to date for a Gen 5 consumer drive.
One glance at the benchmark result screens confirms the official Sequential ratings of the drive of up to 14,000MB/s for reads and up to 12,000MB/s for writes. We could not only confirm the official figures we could better them, the tested drive produced a read result that was 538MB/s faster and the write performance was even better at some 932MB/s faster than the official figure.
That 14,538MB/s read result sees the G560 topping the table by 32MB/s from the heatsink version of Crucial's T705 drive. The write performance was better too, by some 193MB/s.
Peak Performance profile.
As we saw with the Sequential test results, the tested drive produced faster 4K random test results than the official maximums for the drive using the Peak Performance profile of CrystalDiskMark 8. At 1,782,201 IOPS the random read result figure is 382,201 IOPS faster while the write performance sailed past the official maximum of 1,400,000, finishing the test run at 1,602,801 IOPS.
Using the Peak Performance profile test, the Crucial T705 retains the top spot from the G560 by just 13MB/s. However, the write performance of the G560 is 191MB/s better than the Crucial drive.
Real World profile
In the Real World profile results chart the G560's Sequential read test figure is 45MB/s slower than the Crucial T700 drive. However, the Klevv's drive write performance is 766MB/s faster.
