Transcend MTS800 M.2 2280 SATA SSD Review (128GB)

CRYSTAL DISK BENCHMARK VER. 3.0 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.

 

Crystal Disk Mark shows us a high of 539.9MB/s for sequential read and 153.4MB/s sequential write.  Both 4K reads and writes are decent coming in at 31.38MB/s for 4K read and over 130.9MB/s for 4K writes.

AS SSD BENCHMARK VER 1.7

The toughest benchmark available for solid state drives is AS SSD as it relies solely on incompressible data samples when testing performance.  For the most part, AS SSD tests can be considered the ‘worst case scenario’ in obtaining data transfer speeds and many enthusiasts like AS SSD for their needs. Transfer speeds are displayed on the left with IOPS results on the right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In AS SSD it hit an overall score of 756. Sequential speeds hit 519.07MB/s for reads and 146.78MB/s write. 4K speeds reach 29.18MB/s for read and 112.13MB/s for write. Furthermore, the drive reached 63,838 read IOPS and 35,257 write IOPS.

To complement this, the AS SSD Copy Bench presents us with transfer speeds for different file types. The 128GB MTS800 reached a high of 496.18MB/s for the ISO test. For its lowest value, it reached 301.28MB/s on the Program test.

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.

In Anvil Storage Utilities the max sequential read reaches 522.18MB/s and sequential write comes in at 148.28MB/s.  4K speeds prove similar to the other benchmarks, 29.60MB/s for read and 120.24MB/s for write.

As for IOPS we were able to achieve a max of 65,144 read IOPS and 37,213 write IOPS.
