Disk Speeds

[Pauljenks]

Had my new pc for a few days now and im loving it! apart from a few hiccups installing windows 11 drivers. Seems like updates have not caught up with the the latest X870E motherboards. Anyway all good now.

Been playing a few games. Wow what a difference from my last pcs computer i6700k 1080gpu,

Been running crystaldiskmark on my 2 drives. Corsair MP600 PRO 4TB and Solidigm P44 pro 512GB



Are these figures about the speeds you expect to get from these drives.

Looks very healthy. Try and keep that C Drive at the 12% you've got it at now. It will bloat for sure, but even trying your best will make all the difference.

Looks about right for their advertised peak speeds.

These are mine for a gen 5 1TB Crucial T700 (officially 11700MB/sR / 9500MB/sW)...

...and a gen 5 4TB Crucial P3 Plus Steam game drive (officially 4800MB/sR / 4100MB/sW):

...and an older gen 3 Crucial P3 game drive (officially 3500MB/sR / 3000MB/sW):

...an identical gen3 Crucial P3 game drive (officially 3500MB/sR / 3000MB/sW), but 75%full to show any detrimental effect of filling it up (which it doesn't seem to be showing except in the Q1T1 Writes ):

...and an almost full gen 3 Crucial P2 games drive (officially 2400MB/sR / 1900MB/sW:

Just about put everything I need on that drive. The os, diagnostics and benchmark apps and steam plus blizzard launchers. Rest is on the 4tb drive

wow i love the Gen 5.0 crucial T700. Look at those speeds!

Headline numbers look great (and the T705 is faster), but the randoms are not that much different to a decent Gen4 drive (like the P44 Pro or Corsair MP600 Pro).

Always the key for real world performance but you do get a serious bump in sustained read/write on the bigger files with the premium drives. I found that out the hard way many moons ago when I adopted early. Thought I was hitting the highs..... which I was, for all of 16GB of cache or something like that That's when I found out what you are paying for when the headline numbers are the same.

 

[TonyCarter]

It's like every piece of tech...show off the headline figures (max throughputs), and bury the details (sustained throughputs, cache size, cell bit-depth, endurance).

But for consumers it's not that important unless you really need the endurance of SLC/TLC at the cost of peak speeds for normal use.

I also like browsing BackBlaze disk reports to see what real endurance is like and where the trend is going...
