CrystalDiskMark v2.2

CrystalDiskMark is a small HDD benchmark utility for your hard drive that enables you to rapidly measure sequential and random read/write speeds.

100MB Files Test:

CrystalDiskMark v2.2 Benchmark

50MB Files Test:

CrystalDiskMark v2.2 Benchmark

Benchmark Results: With Crystal Mark v2.2 run with both a file size of 50MB and 100MB a performance difference can be observed. With the file size at 50MB the Kingston SSDNow V+ Series 128GB drive had much better write speeds in the 512KB file size test.  We aren't sure exactly why the 512KB write test jumped up nearly 90MB/s, but it just goes to show how some controllers and firmware are optimized for certain file sizes.  

Crystal Mark Benchmark Results

50MB Files Test Comparison Chart: The  Kingston SSDNow V+ Series 128GB drive scores very well in the 512KB file size tests with the highest score we have ever seen on this benchmark in the read test and darn near the highest in the write test!
