BlackMagic's Disk Speed Test only tests one thing, continuous throughput. This is useful but only measures one aspect of an SSD, and doesn't necessarily mimic accurately how most disk interactions occur. Random Read and Write tests are as important, if not more so, as many SSDs can deliver fast maximum continuous read and writes but much less so for random small data blocks. CrystalDiskMark tests random reads and writes both as queued requests and single requests. The default depth is pretty high for the test. Usually, an OS wouldn't have that deep of a queue, but the Q1T1 does mimic a singular request. Also, CrystalDiskMark measures IOPS (Input/Output Operations-per-second), which is similar but also a different measure of disk speed.
Blackmagic Disk Speed Test is special software that allows MAC users to measure their disk performance and check if things are working the way they should. The software comes with cool and very straightforward graphics that make sure that even novice MAC users will be able to understand what is going on. Unfortunately, Blackmagic Disk Speed Test is only available for people who have purchased a MAC and anyone who has not invested in this mean machine will need to look around for other performance testing software.
I have found it difficult to measure pool speed over 10gbe as the tools that I usually use have not been able to give me a consistent result. I have tested with AJA speed test and Blackmagic Disk Speed Test and get different results from each.AJA: 140mbs Write / 80mbs ReadBlackmagic: 450mbs Write / 80mbs Read
To test the performance of the Pegasus2 R2+, we measured transfer speeds in both RAID0 and single drive configurations using the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test with a 5GB test file connected to a current generation Thunderbolt 2 compatible MacBook Pro. We populated the R2+ with 2x 256GB Samsung 850 Pro SSDs.
