NVMe SSD Benchmark
After Driver Installation is successfully completed, you can benchmark the NVMe SSD to test the actual performance of read and write speed.
For example, the free software CrystalDiskMark 8 can be used to test the read and write speed. After installation, the profile should be adjusted via the menu item Settings → NVMe SSD.
Test with 1 GiB
The following result was achieved with a test size of 1 GiB:
| Read | Write | |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth: | Up to 28.0 GB/s | Up to 16.6 GB/s |
Test with 2 GiB
The following result was achieved with a test size of 2 GiB:
| Read | Write | |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth: | Up to 26.1 GB/s | Up to 12.4 GB/s |
Test with 16 MiB
The following result was achieved with a test size of 16 MiB:
| Read | Write | |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth: | Up to 29.6 GB/s | Up to 30.9 GB/s |
Hardware used:
For the NVMe SSD read and write test, a creoline Windows Server 2022 with 16 CPU cores and 16 GiB RAM as well as an NVMe SSD with 100 GiB was used.
Hypervisor configuration:
The following configuration is used in all physical creoline servers for the virtualization of Windows servers from generation 4:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Processor: 2x Intel® Xeon® Gold 6348 CPU | |
| Memory: | 16x 64 GiB DDR4 ECC RAM 3,200 MHz |
| Storage: | 16x Micron 7450 Pro NVMe SSD (hot-swap, 2.5") |
| RAID: Raid 10, 2x Dedicated Hot Spare |
Important:
Please note that the read and write speeds shown here are an indication of the maximum NVMe performance specifically for creoline Windows Server and do not represent guaranteed read or write speeds. The actual speed of the NVMe SSD may vary.
