SSD Benchmarks 2024

Published on September 13, 2024 By Draginol In Personal Computing

So today let's look at how far had drives have come.

Let's start with some traditional spinny hard drives with sequential reads:

2006: This is a ThinkPad T60. 100 MB/s.

This is my Dell Dimension from 2005. 125 MB/s.

Let's fast forward to early SSDs: 2012!

Here is 3 Intel X25-Ms in Raid 0 configuration to get max speed. 724MB/s which was at the upper edge of speed for the time.

More typical was my OCZ SSD from 2012

OCZ: 343 MB/sec

Now we go to Toad-2020 which a Viper m.2:

and this is the Samsung 990 Pro.

So a pretty big jump with PCI Express 3.0 being the bottleneck I suspect.

Let's now jump to Frog-2024.

Here we have a Crucial PCI Express 5.0 M.2 drive: 14,307

The random score is a little odd and I suspect it would change if I ran it again but I'm not going to.

I still have a few old platters in this machine...from 2015... WD Greens. What the 'Greens' do is spin down totally if not being accessed. Means everything's cooler...but it's a bit quaint to click on drive 'G' and wait a few seconds for it to wake up - not good if you're in a hurry...
