CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark for measuring the theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using v8.0.5.

Using the default settings for the 4K QD1 CrystalDiskMark 8 test, the 2TB NV150HK read score of 81.48MB/s sees it in last place in our results chart. Switching to the compressed data test, the read performance increased across the board, especially the 4K QD1 T1 test, with the only real improvements in writes coming from the 4K QD32 T16 test.

Looking at the benchmark result screens, we could confirm the official Sequential maximums and even better them a little, of up to 14,000MB/s & 13,000MB/s respectively for read and writes, with test results of 14,302MB/s for reads and 13,501MB/s for writes.

The Netac's NV150HK read score of 14,302MB/s sees the drive slip into seventh place on the results chart. Its write score of 13,501MB/s is the third fastest we've seen to date for a Gen 5 consumer drive.

Peak Performance Profile

Netac quotes random 4K maximums of up to 2M IOPS for reads and up to 1.8M IOPS for writes. Using the default Peak Performance profile of CrystalDiskMark 8, we couldn't quite hit the official maximums with test results of 1,979,719 IOPS for reads and 1,789,690 IOPS for writes. Switching over to the compressed data test, the read/write scores improved to confirm, and better, the official figures with a read result of 2,066,690 IOPS with writes at 1,858,777 IOPS.

Once again, with the Peak Performance profile, we could confirm the official Sequential performance figures, its read result of 14,280MB/s putting it into sixth place in the results chart.

Real World Profile

When it comes to CrystalDiskMark's Real World profile, the NV150HK doesn't fare so well; its read score of 6,198MB/s puts it into third from last position in the result chart; however, its write performance is much stronger at 10,243MB/s. Once again, switching over to the compressed data test shows huge improvements in the read performance.
