Benchmarks: Equally SSD Benchmark

When testing with As SSD Criterion we see the verbal same sequential read performance equally we did when using the CrystalDiskMark test. Once more a throughput of 503MB/s meant that the Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB delivered typical functioning for an SF-2281 based SSD.

Although the sequential write results are slightly lower across the lath when using the As SSD Benchmark opposed to CrystalDiskMark the performance trends do remain the same. Hither the Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB was slightly slower than the ADATA S511 240GB while remaining faster than the Kingston and OCZ drives.

This fourth dimension we find when running the Equally SSD Benchmark 4K-64 thread test that the performance of the Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB is quite typical for that of an SF-2281 drive. The throughput of 228.6MB/southward made the SSD 520 Series 240GB slightly slower than the OCZ Vertex 3 240GB nevertheless faster than the ADATA and Kingston drives.

Every bit was the example with the CrystalDiskMark random 4K-QD32 write exam we find that the Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB is exceptionally fast when running the AS SSD Benchmark 4K-64 thread write test. Hither the bandwidth of 231.7MB/due south meant that it was the fastest SF-2281 based SSD we have ever tested.

The read admission time of the Intel SSD 520 Serial 240GB was exceptional taking merely 0.046ms making it the fastest SSD nosotros have tested as it but managed to border out the Crucial m4 512GB and OCZ Vertex iii Max IOPS 240GB.

The write access fourth dimension was not nearly equally impressive though taking 0.184ms still fabricated information technology the fastest SF-2281 based SSD we take tested. This explains why the Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB has provided consistently strong performance throughout or benchmarking phase.
