CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure the theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.5.
Biwin's Black Opal X570 PRO sits mid-table in the CrystalDiskMark 8 4K QD1 T1 test, with a read score of 86.69MB/s and 302.78MB/s for writes.
As can seen from the benchmarking screens we can confirm the official sequential ratings of the drive of up to 14,000MB/s for reads and up to 13,000MB/s for writes and even better them with default test figures of 14,371.51MB/s for reads and 13,408.04MB/s for writes.
That 14,371.51MB/s read result places the 4TB X570 PRO in third place on the results chart. However, its write result of 13,408.04MB/s is the fastest we've seen for a Gen5 consumer drive to date.
Peak Performance Profile
The 4TB X570 PRO is officially rated as up to 2000K IOPS for random reads and up to 1600K IOPS for random writes. Using the Peak Performance profile test of CrystalDiskMark 8 we couldn't quite get to those official maximums. The best read result we saw was 1,885,857 IOPS with the best write figure at 1,494,779 IOPS. Although we couldn't confirm the official figures, the random read result is the fastest we've seen to date for a consumer Gen 5 drive.
Once again we could confirm the official sequential figures with Peak Performance profile test results of 14,361MB/s for reads and 13,328MB/s for writes.
Real World Profile
The X570 PRO sits in the penultimate place in the CrystalDiskMark 8 Real World result table with a read score of 7,216MB/s. However, its write score of 10.767MB/s is the third fastest we've seen for a Gen 5 SSD in this test.
