Here we test the Corsair One Elite‘s storage performance, using CrystalDiskMark 5.1.1.

The Corsair One Pro’s Samsung PM961 drive returned read and write scores of 3,075MB/s and 1,545MB/s. They’re both excellent results – the read speed is a little ahead of the OEM drive in the Armari, and the write figure is twice as good.

Those results are good in the wider world, too, with few SSDs out there that’ll match this drive for pace. That means games and applications will load quickly, and we have no issue with boot times – the Corsair loads Windows 10 in a handful of seconds.

Our only qualm is absolutely tiny: we wish Corsair had used a Samsung 960 EVO drive, as they’re a little bit faster still.
