CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.5.
The Corsair MP700 Pro XT's score of 103.53MB/s in the CrystalDiskMark 8 default test places it in second place on the results chart, behind WD's Black SN8100. However, its write score of 264.64MB/s isn't as strong.
As you can see from the benchmarking screens, we can confirm the official read sequential rating of 14,900MB/s with a test result of 14,860.87MB/s. Writes, on the other hand, were, at 14,077MB/s, a little shy of the official maximum.
That 14,860.7MB/s read result sees the MP700 Pro XT place into second place on the results chart. It's the fastest Corsair drive we've seen to date.
Peak Performance profile.
We couldn't confirm Corsair's maximum 4K performance for the MP700 Pro XT of 2,700,000 IOPS (Reads) and 3,300,000 IOPS (Writes), but using CrystalDiskMark 8 Peak Performance profile got close with the read result at 2,112,498 IOPS. Writes, on the other hand, at 1,859,904 IOPS were miles away from the official figure.
Once again, we could confirm the official sequential figures with test results of 14,859MB/s for reads and 14,052MB/s for writes.
Real World profile
In the CrystalDiskMark 8 Real World test, the drive's result score of 10,552MB/s sees the drive sitting on top of the results table. The MP700 Pro XT is the fastest consumer drive we've seen to date when it comes to read performance, but the write performance isn't as strong.
