Test Conditions / Benchmark Notes
-
Benchmark tool: CrystalDiskMark (default profile)
-
Test environment: Performance varies by platform (CPU/chipset), PCIe lane configuration, OS, driver/firmware version, and background tasks.
-
Workload factors: Results may differ by test size, queue depth, and whether the drive has available free space.
-
Thermals: Sustained transfers can increase drive temperature; adequate system airflow helps maintain stable performance.
-
Note: All speeds are up to values; actual results depend on system configuration and test conditions.
