CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure the theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.

With a read score of 81.58MB/s for CrystalDiskMark 8's 4K QD1 test, Solidigm's P41 Plus sits inside the top 10 in our results chart. However, its write score of 281.04MB/s is the fastest we've seen to date for a consumer 2TB NVMe drive.

As you can see from the benchmark result screens we could confirm the official read/write figures of 4,125MB/s and 3,325MB/s respectively with a read result of 4,139MB/s with writes at 3,336MB/s.

The P41 Plus 2TB drive sits in last place on our results chart as a result of its test results.

Using the Peak Performance profile of the CrystalDiskMark benchmark we came up short when testing the 4K read/write performance. The official random read / write ratings for the 2TB drive are up to 390.000 IOPS and up to 540,000 IOPS respectively. The best we saw from the drive when tested with the default settings was 376,009 IOPS for reads and 507,961 IOPS for writes.

Using the Real World profile the drive produced Sequential read/write figures of 3.059MB/s and 3,258MB/s respectively, short of the official maximum for reads (4,125MB/s) but on the mark when it came to writes (3,325MB/s).
