The next benchmark is the CrystalDiskMark. The software provides throughput data based on sequential reads and writes, and random (512K/4K/4KQD32) reads and writes of various sizes. Below you see the drive's performance with both compressible and incompressible data, which makes no difference in case of our HDD:
