CrystalDiskMark
Contents
CrystalDiskMark is a disk drive benchmarking program that measures the write and read speed in different block sizes. We compared the results in sequential read and write, and in 512 kiB block size read and write. We configured it for five repetitions of each test of 1 GB of random data.
The graph below shows the sequential read speed for each drive, in MiB/s.
In the sequential read test, the Wireless Plus and the Backup Plus performed the same way.
The next graph shows the write speed of sequential data, in MiB/s.
In the sequential write test, the Seagate Wireless Plus also performed the same way than the Seagate Backup Plus.
The following graph presents the read speed in 512 kB blocks, in MiB/s.
Both drives performed equally in the 512 kiB random read test.
The following graph presents the write speed in 512 kB blocks, in MiB/s.
In the random write test, the Seagate Wireless Plus was 9% slower than the Backup Plus.
