#DISKMARK VS PRO#
The closest drives to this in terms of performance are the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus and the Samsung 980 Pro (opens in new tab). The SN850 builds on all of that to stand head and shoulders above the others to be the performance drive you want in your gaming PC. As we've said, the SN750 was a decent contender in terms of cost/performance for last-gen consideration too. The WD_Black AN1500 (opens in new tab)brought stunning performance to PCIe 3.0 platforms, while it's external next-gen SSDs (opens in new tab), like the P50, have done well in our testing too. Western Digital has been on an impressive run of late. When plenty of 'fast' SSDs still take 12 seconds to complete the same task, that proves what difference the latest technology can have on gaming performance. The fact that this performance is echoed in the Final Fantasy XIV benchmark, which has the SN850 loading the five different scenes in a shade under seven seconds for the first time, impresses no end.
#DISKMARK VS FULL#
With an overall throughput of nearly 495MB/s in the Quick test and 550MB/s in the Full benchmark, this is a drive that just keeps powering on in day to day use. It's the real-world performance tests that impress the most though, with PCMark 10's Quick and Full storage tests putting the SN850 way ahead of the field. The 4K write performance in AS SSD manage to flip this over as well, with the WD SN850 managing to outpace the Sabrent drive. Writes are lower than the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus, but still healthy, at either side of 5GB/s. The synthetic benchmarks, spearheaded by ATTO and AS SSD, show that this is very much a second-generation PCIe 4.0 drive, with peak sequential read speeds knocking on 6,750MB/s and 5,920MB/s respectively.
#DISKMARK VS PORTABLE#
CrystalDiskMark Portable 7.0 supports Windows XP or later.Any SSD is ultimately defined by its performance, and as stated in the introduction, it's here that the WD SN850 really stands out from the crowd. Support for Windows XP and 2003 has been dropped in the installer version, but the portable version continues to support both.ĬrystalDiskMark 7.0 is an open-source download for PCs running Windows Vista or later. The DiskSpd Affinity option has been changed from -ag to -n to spread the benchmarking more evenly across the user’s multi-core processor, although users can switch back to the -ag option via Settings > Queues & Threads. Other changes include preventing the program from running without elevated administrator privileges, a new option to change the program’s fonts to suit personal tastes (Theme > Font Setting) and the addition of an ARM64 build for compatible processors.

The sequential benchmark block size has been increased from 128KB to 1MB while the random benchmark switches from Q8T8 to QT32T16.

When selected, users will see a new dropdown menu allowing them to specify the split between read/write as a percentage.

Version 7 throws in a new mixed read/write test to accompany the standard standalone read and write tests, which in turn leads to new peak and real-world performance profiles. It retains its simplicity however - select your drive, choose your test settings and click ‘All’ to run them all or select a specific test to run.

Version 7 opens with a rebuilt user interface - subtly tweaked during the transition from HTML to GDI. CrystalDiskMark will appeal to users quickly wishing to benchmark their hard drives, whether it’s to gauge current performance or see if that new NVMe SSD drive really is that much quicker than traditional SATA-based models.
