The test is done by attaching the MTS800 to a PC's motherboard unit. The Transcend MTS800 has a usable 467GB storage, the other 45GB is for its own system reserve to function well.
In this part, we have tested the unit using the Crystal Disk Mark which a benchmarking software to measure the performance of the SSD storage device, it is also used as a standard in tests. The testing size is set to 1,000MB or 1GB and the Read 7 Write data were placed in the below chart:
As for the READ the Sequential got a 526GB/s and 4KQD33 got a 286MB/s transfer speed. As for the WRITE the Sequential got a 459GB/s and 4KQD33 got a 310MB/s transfer speed.
