SSD Review – ADATA SP610 512GB Versus Corsair Force LX 512GB

CrystalDiskMark

CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3 x64 – Intel Z97 Platform

CrystalDiskMark is a small benchmark utility for drives and enables rapid measurement of sequential and random read/write speeds. Note that CDM only supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) with a queue depth of 32 (as noted) for the last listed benchmark score. This can skew some results in favor of controllers that also do not support NCQ.

Benchmark Results: The Corsair Force LX 512GB and ADATA Premier SP610 512GB out at around 540MB/s read and 445MB/s write on the sequential test when we ran the drive on the CrystalDiskMark storage test. The 4K scores were just shy of 30MB/s read and were pegged at 120MB/s write. We also ran the 0Fill test and got virtually identical test results.
