In 3DMark’s Storage Test, the E31T had an average game loading bandwidth figure for the three games of 836.35MB/s with an average access time of 61µs.

In the game moving, recording, installing and saving test traces the drive averaged 1,430.47MB/s with an average access time of 34.7µs for the four tests.

The average bandwidth figure for the E31T for the complete benchmark run was 714.44MB/s which puts the drive in last place in the results table but bear in mind that it's a product aimed at the mainstream so it holds its own quite well against these high-end drives.
