The SSD Review The Worlds Dedicated SSD Education and Review Resource | 
ATTO Disk Benchmark is perhaps one of the oldest benchmarks going and is definitely the main staple for manufacturer performance specifications. ATTO uses RAW or compressible data and, for our benchmarks, we use a set length of 256mb and test both the read and write performance of various transfer sizes ranging from 512b to 65mb. Manufacturers prefer this method of testing as it deals with raw (compressible) data rather than random (includes incompressible data) which, although more realistic, results in lower performance results.
It was very good to see a steady progression of performance with the increase of file size. High readings were just over 1.5GB/s read and 1.3GB/s write.
CRYSTAL DISK BENCHMARK VER. 8.0.1 X64
Crystal Disk Benchmark is used to measure read and write performance through sampling of random data which is, for the most part, incompressible. Performance is virtually identical, regardless of data sample so we have included only that using random data samples.

ANVIL STORAGE UTILITIES PROFESSIONAL
Anvil’s Storage Utilities (ASU) are the most complete test bed available for the solid state drive today. The benchmark displays test results for, not only throughput but also, IOPS and Disk Access Times. Not only does it have a preset SSD benchmark, but also, it has included such things as endurance testing and threaded I/O read, write and mixed tests, all of which are very simple to understand and use in our benchmark testing.
The AJA Video Systems Disk Test is relatively new to our testing and tests the transfer speed of video files with different resolutions and Codec.
TxBench is one of our newly discovered benchmarks that we works much the same as Crystal Diskmark, but with several other features. Advanced load bench-marking can be configured, as well as full drive information and data erasing via secure erase, enhanced secure erase, TRIM and overwriting.

I don’t do high FPS bursts so I’m wondering if there is a difference in idle or low activity temperature between a Delkin Black and Power for an R5. Would an optimized 256GB+ Power have the same 45C temp. as the 128GB? I’m assuming the 15GB photo transfer is the closest benchmark to simulate camera to card write speed.
You will be fine. The temps come in with video use for the most part. As well, if you can live with the lower sustained write transfer speeds you are golden.
I just don’t want to feel the grip being warm so if the Power card will be just as cool for light loads than that will be great since I’m not a videographer or burst shooter.
Hi guys — thanks for these results — but since 2.0 was adopted many cards have been updated and are now faster and cooler AND many new entrants have release products. Would you guys consider repeating these tests – might I recommend the new 650GB Delkin Black, the Sabrent Rocket XXIT-2TB, and the Angelbird AV Pro 2.0 – 2TB and 4TB
Hi,
Any updated tests? Many of these cards have been replaced. It would be great to have updated results.
Best,
