In our read-throughput test, the Lightsaber Collection Special Edition FireCuda peaked at 5,623.58MB/s at the 8MB block mark. This peak figure is some way off the official maximum of 7,300MB/s.

In our throughput test, the Lightsaber Collection Special Edition FireCuda which uses a FireCuda 530 is very oddly 212MB/s slower than the original FireCuda 530. It might be that the later firmware the Special Edition drive uses is having some effect on this test.

In the write throughput test, the Lightsaber Collection Special Edition FireCuda peaked at 6,609.92MB/s at the end of the test run, someway short of the official maximum of 6,900MB/s.

In complete contrast to the read performance, the write throughput test sees the Lightsaber Collection Special Edition FireCuda produce a test result that is 253MB/s faster than the standard FireCuda 530.
