Sequential Read
To read about our storage tests in-depth, please check out How We Test HDDs And SSDs. Four-corner testing is covered on page six.
The charts are a little different today. Instead of ordering the results from highest to lowest performance, we grouped them by capacity. We have three capacities and three different types of flash.
The Toshiba A19 TLC 480GB drive gave us an odd result. But aside from that one score, the rest of the drives finish where we expect them to.
S10-controlled retail products like the Corsair Neutron XT, Kingston HyperX Savage and Patriot Inferno all deliver exceptional sequential read performance. The three examples lead our charts in this test with more than 560 MB/s, the upper limit of SATA 6Gb/s.
