Crucial MX200 500GB SSD review
8. Anvil Pro
The next benchmark is the Anvil Pro, an ‘all inclusive’ storage utility. The software is tests transfer speeds as well as IOPS The IOPS tests can be configurable with preset testing scenarios for read (Seq 4MB, 4K, 4K QD4, 4K QD16, 32K and 128K), write (Seq 4MB, 4K, 4K QD4, 4K QD16) and mixed IO.
We used the software with the Crucial MX100 512GB SSD and tested the drive with 0-fill compression (RAW), 8% compression, 25% compression, 45% compression, 67% compression and finally 100 % (incompressible data). Below are the results with 0-fill compression as well as with fully incompressible files.
It sees that the specific benchmark works pretty well with the MX200 500GB SSD. The drive showed its strength in the 4K random write tests, even at QD16. It's overall score was 4983.4 points, taking the 2nd place following the Samsung 850 Pro SSD:
