Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V6.0.0 x64.

SSD Performance

The 1TB Intel 760p NVMe SSD has fast reading at 3,005.4MB/sec, and it's not too shabby for writing, managing 1,544.6MB/sec. However, we have seen SSDs manage over 3,200MB/sec reading and 2,300MB/sec writing, so it's not at the absolute pinnacle of performance.

HDD Performance

The 4TB Seagate Barracuda PRO is one of the fastest 7,200rpm hard disks we've tested, however. Few mechanical drives in this class can beat 235.3MB/sec reading and 221.6MB/sec writing.
