Kingston HyperX FURY 240 GiB SSD Review
Compressible Data Test
Contents
As you will have gathered from the previous page, we measured the performance of each drive using two different programs: CrystalDiskMark and Iometer.
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.
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 HyperX FURY was 7,9% faster than the SSDNow V300. In the sequential write test, however, they presented the same performance level.
In both the read and write tests using 512 kiB blocks, the Kingston HyperX FURY 240 GiB showed similar performance level as the SSDNow V300 240 GiB.
In the random read test using 4 kiB blocks, the Kingston HyperX FURY beat the SSDNow V300 by 25 percent. However, in the random write test using 4 kiB blocks, both the drives performed the same way.
