Review on Toshiba P300 500GB Desktop SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive - 3.5 Inch by Robert Blair

What a great deal from Toshiba at the price of the competition and beats them. This drive is quiet while offering excellent performance. The tests below are for a freshly formatted drive and all I can say is that they give me solid reason to continue being a regular customer. --------------------------------------------------------------- - ------ CrystalDiskMark 5.2.0 x64 (UWP) (C) 2007-2016 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World: http://crystalmark.info/---------------- - ------ ----------------------------------* MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/ s [ SATA/600 = 600,000,000 bytes/s]* KB = 1000 bytes, KiB = 1024 bytes Sequential Read (Q=32, T=1): 210.986 MB/s Sequential Write (Q=32, T=1) : 199.725 MB/s 4 KB Random Read (Q= 32, T= 1) : 1.354 MB/s [ 330.6 IOPS] 4 KB Random Write (Q= 32, T= 1) : 1.455 MB/s [ 355 , 2 IOPS ] Sequential Read (T= 1) : 210.954 MB/s Sequential Write (T= 1) : 193.586 MB/s 4 KB Random Read (Q= 1,T= 1) : 0.648 MB/s [158.2 IOPS ] 4 KB Random Write ( Q= 1,T= 1) : 1.405 MB/s [343.0 IOPS] Benchmark: 1024 MB [D: 0.0% (0.2/931.4 GiB)] (x5 ) [Interval=5 sec] Date: 28.12.2016 15:08 :43 OS: Windows 10 [10.0 build 143 93] (x64)
