CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using v6.0.

The Lexar NM600 doesn't perform well in the CrystalDiskMark benchmark at a deep queue depth of 32. Looking at the two benchmark result screens, the Silicon Motion controller doesn't seem to have a preference as to the type of data is asked to handle.

At a QD of 1, where most of today's desktop workloads take place, the NM600 seems to perform better, with a read score of 62.74MB/s with writes at 169.7MB/s.
