CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using v8.0.5.
In the CrystalDiskMark 4K QD1 test, the SSD 9100 Pro sits on top of the results chart with the fastest read performance we've seen to date for a consumer drive. However, its write performance isn't quite as impressive.
With the CrystalDiskMark 8 default test, we could confirm the official Sequential performance figures of up to 14,700MB/s and up to 13,400MB/s for reads and writes respectively with test results of 14,718.99MB/s for reads and 13,494.41MB/s for writes.
Both of the Sequential test results for the SSD 9100 Pro are the fastest we've seen to date for a consumer Gen5 SSD.
Peak Performance Profile
When it came to 4K performance, our test results were mixed. The read performance of the 2TB SSD 9100 Pro is quoted as up to 1,850,000 IOPS, which we could confirm with CrystalDiskMark 8's Peak Performance Profile tests with a result of 1,865,393 IOPS, which sees the drive slotting into third spot on the results chart. On the other hand, the write test result of 1,632, 903 IOPS was some way back from the official maximum of 2,600,000 IOPS.
Using CrystalDiskMark 8's Peak Performance Profile we could, once again, confirm the official Sequential read / write figures with a test result of 14,641MB/s for reads and 13,405MB/s for writes, which are good enough to put the drive in top spot on the table.
Real World Profile
Using the Real World Profile benchmark, the drive's read result of 10,092MB/s was good enough to put it in top spot in the table as well. The write result of 10,801MB/s is the third fastest we've seen to date for a consumer Gen 5 drive.
