Benchmarks: CrystalDiskMark 3.0

Yet again we see that the SM951 is faster than the SSD 750 Series, this time providing 9% more bandwidth in CrystalDiskMark's sequential read test.

The sequential write test favors the SM951 by a 19% margin over the SSD 750 Series 1.2TB, with Samung's drive hitting 1554MB/s.

The Random 512K read test favors the SM951 by a 15% margin over the SSD 750 Series.

This time we see 21% more performance from the SM951 compared to the SSD 750 Series.

We found the SM951 to be 20% slower than the SSD 750 Series 1.2TB when measuring random 4K-QD32 performance. This isn't too surprising as this is where the NVMe support of the Intel drive really comes into play.

When measuring random 4K-QD32 performance the SM951 was 18% slower than the SSD 750 Series.
