Corsair Neutron XT 240 GiB SSD Review

Compressible Data Test

As you will have gathered from the previous page, we measured the performance of each drive using CrystalDiskMark.
It is important to note that we connected the SSDs to a SATA-600 port on our motherboard rather than a SATA-300 port, which could cause performance limitations.
First, we set CrystalDiskMark to “All 0x00 Fill mode” to evaluate the performance of the SSD when dealing with compressible data.

In the sequential read test, the Neutron XT was 13% faster than the HyperX Fury.

In the sequential write test, the both drives performed the same way.

In the read test using 512 kiB blocks, the Neutron XT was 28% faster than the HyperX Fury 240 GiB.

In write tests using 512 kiB blocks, there was a tie.

In the random read test using 4 kiB blocks, the Corsair Neutron XT was 435% faster than the HyperX Fury.

In the random write test with 4 kiB blocks, the Neutron XT was 5% faster than the HyperX Fury.
