The next stage is to analyse the performance of the drives with some of the best software available online.
Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.
We tested the Kingston drive with both compressible and incompressible data and recorded between 250 MB/s and 260 MB/s from the sequential read test and around 161 MB/s from the sequential write test. This accurately mirrored our ‘real world' results on the previous page. Obviously due to the nature of this kind of flash, 4k and 4K QD32 performance is weaker than from an SSD.
Above, the comparison drives results. The ADATA N005 Pro 64GB produces 175 MB/s sequential read and 90 MB/s sequential write, which is literally light years behind the latest Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 3.0 64 GB.
The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.
With ATTO, the Kingston Datatraveler HyperX 3.0 64GB drive produces the fastest results we have seen – over 260 MB/s read and 160 MB/s write during the 8,192.0 test. The fast ADATA N005 looks positively pedestrian when directly in a head to head.
Those are some crazy speeds for a flash drive !
HyperX is a good name for it, massively costly to buy though. £130? Can buy an SSD for that now. (not the same thing I know, just saying)./
lol, I have an old USB 1.1 drive and it does me fine for backups of small data files. Very nice drive, might consider a new one, but not one of these, out of my price range by a long shot
Any chance you could add a database style test to the suite you use? would really be useful for me.
I bought my computer off ebay a few years ago and its not super old or anything it just can kind a bare if you know what i mean. now when i plug in my kingston flash drive or my ipod or my printer or web cam they all work just fine. the only problem seems to be a little bubble that pops up telling me that the device can run faster and asks. if it should look for a faster port I like whatever and let it but it doesn’t find one. now ive had no real problems with it. Thanks
I was eyeing has a 2.0 usb drive so i want to know given the info i provided will it work on my computer or if it can’t how can i make it work. thanks
