Now that more people here are getting high performance SSDs and HDD's we should see how well they perform.

Post your CrystalDiskMark results with a description of the drive(s) with your username. Download Windows version HERE.

PLEASE READ: Make sure you run CrystalDiskMark in '0Fill' mode, otherwise the write speeds will be way off.

Here's mine.

I realized I had the wrong BIOS settings for my SSD. It was running in standard IDE mode, and when I enabled AHCI and edited the registry my speeds increased heaps.

I've edited my first post with the new results.

So far only 1 person has used the wrong settings. I added the correct mode to run the benchmark to the first post.

Never tried it. Maybe you should start a thread for it like the 3DMark and SuperPi threads.

Eh, Atto runs something like 20 tests of different filesizes, reporting results for each one. Trying to create a ranking thread for that would be...hectic to say the least:P
 
CrystalDiskMark scores, which is better lower or higher?

Please excuse my dumb noob question about the CrystalDiskMark scores. I couldn't find much info about the scores and set ups etc.

Which is better, higher numbers or lower?

I did manage to test my old Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive and got these numbers. They seem kind of low. Is that correct? Should they be higher?

I'm thinking of getting a new Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive to use with my current system or with a new 1155 Sandy Bridge build. Eventually I'll get an SSD for a boot and app drive. Thanks all.

Thanks for posting your results guys, very helpful when diagnosing and you want to compare results.

After reading some of the SSD results I think it is time for an upgrade.

Initially I was getting Seq write speeds of around 35MB/s. I looked into it and found my partition alignment was out, despite only recently being a fresh install of Win7-64bit.

After doing a bit of reading, I upgraded the firmware on my SSD, enabled AHCI support and did a clean install, which also fixed the alignment. Im now getting the below results, which arent too bad, but some of those numbers are much smaller than other SSD's that have been listed.

Im not sure how much those bottom numbers will impact performance, but Ill stick a new SSD drive in and find out.

garyhope, the higher the numbers the better.
