I recently got an external SSD that has USB 3.1 and decided to run CrystalDiskMark tests against all the storage drives on my system.
I tested everything from my NVMe PCIe drive to my HDD SATA drive and I thought it might be interesting to share the results and get some commentary.
I'm running CrystalDiskMark 6.0 and have all the settings on default (2 tests @ 50MiB). Here are my results rounded up (Read MB/s | Write MB/s):
SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD USB 3.1
Seq Q32T1: 558 | 515
4KiB Q8T8: 111 | 112
4KiB Q32T1: 105 | 103
4KiB Q1T1: 26 | 33
Western Digital NVMe PCIe
Seq Q32T1: 1536 | 663
4KiB Q8T8: 696 | 551
4KiB Q32T1: 349 | 308
4KiB Q1T1: 43 | 108
OCZ SSD SATA 3
Seq Q32T1: 464 | 397
4KiB Q8T8: 347 | 330
4KiB Q32T1: 294 | 258
4KiB Q1T1: 32 | 108
HGST Dekstar 7200 rpm SATA 3
Seq Q32T1: 91 | 54
4KiB Q8T8: 4 | 1
4KiB Q32T1: 3 | 1
4KiB Q1T1: 1 | 1

I appreciate any comments, trying to compare my results with ones online I'm finding they vary a lot or offer a sea of numbers I'm having a hard time decyphering, so I'm kind of confused which of my drives are running properly or under performing. The Dekstar seems to have a really low score not sure what numbers I should be comparing with this review:
