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 and 4 kiB block sizes 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 Canvio Connect was 11% slower than the Backup Plus Slim, and 8% faster than the My Passport Ultra.
The next graph shows the write speed of sequential data, in MiB/s.
Also in the sequential write test, the Canvio Connect was 12% slower than the Backup Plus Slim, and 7% faster than the My Passport Ultra.
The following graph presents the read speed in 512 kB blocks, in MiB/s.
In this test, the Canvio Connect was 8% slower than the Backup Plus Slim, and 10% slower than the My Passport Ultra.
The following graph presents the write speed in 512 kB blocks, in MiB/s.
An in the 512 kiB random write test, the Canvio Connect was 21% slower than the Backup Plus Slim, and 19% slower than the My Passport Ultra.
The read speed in 4 kB blocks, in MiB/s, is shown in the next graph.
In the random read test with 4 kiB blocks, the Canvio Connect was 7% faster than the Backup Plus Slim, and 13% slower than the My Passport Ultra.
The following graph presents the write speed in 4 kB blocks, in MiB/s.
In the random write test with 4 kiB blocks, the Canvio Connect was 25% faster than the Backup Plus Slim, and 17% slower than the My Passport Ultra.
