April 13, 20206 yr What do you guys recommend to best gauge speed and drive performance? I have crystal disk installed already. Historically I've run P3D on my samsung EVO plus 970 1tb. But I also have a Adata SX8200 Pro 2TB. I'd like to make sure the two drives are close in performance and I wouldn't be leaving performance on the table installing V5 on my Adata. thanks 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
April 13, 20206 yr There are comparative tests on Tomshardware for both drives. - https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/adata-xpg-sx8200-pro-ssd,5955-2.html Looks like you would be unlikely to notice any difference between your two drives. They are both good. John B
April 13, 20206 yr Author I guess the part of it I want to test is to make sure that each NVMe is each operating in the "fast lane". I'm pretty sure I have my MB bios settings setup properly. But wanted to verify.

You're asking whether you should use your Porsche or Ferrari to drive your Nan to the shops 😀.
April 13, 20206 yr Author I just ran the crystaldisk. Appears they are very close to each other. 3.4 to 3.5gb read speed and 3gb write 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
April 13, 20206 yr In most instances, unless you’re moving very large files, or a lot of smaller files, on a regular basis, it’s unlikely you’ll notice the difference in speed between the faster and slower SSDs. People often pay a lot more money for ultra fast drives which, in normal real-world use, would be difficult to distinguish from any decent slower-speed drive. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
