The images on this page take a look at the CrystalDiskMark results for this drive as compared to those of the 960Gb Kingston HyperX Savage SSD. The first shows the sequential reads...
Next we have the sequential writes...
This chart shows the 4KiB reads...
And finally we have the 4KiB writes...
The HyperX Savage drive is rated for 560MB/s read speeds and 530MB/s write speeds - slightly higher than the UV500 drive, and overall the benchmarking confirms the drives are both capable of exceeding their published specifications. The Savage drive is noticeably faster for read speeds (as should be expected), but the UV500 eeks out slightly higher speeds than the Savage drive when it comes to writes.
