Eggxpert Review
Pros: The Intel 670p (512GB) is an extremely fast M.2 SSD using 3rd GEN PCIe interface. I bench marked this against a Seagate ZP1000GM30011 (1TB) and a Crucial CT1000P5SSD8 (1TB). For the testing I used CrystalDiskMark on a Windows 10 x64 system and ran the test with 4 passes (1GB) at 3 separate times and took the average of the results. Seagate ZP1000GM30011 (1TB) -------------------------------------------------------------- Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 3468.881 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 3125.871 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 586.406 MB/s [143165.5 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 524.853 MB/s [128137.9 IOPS] Sequential Read (T= 1) : 2222.290 MB/s Sequential Write (T= 1) : 3152.058 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 51.666 MB/s [ 12613.8 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 175.905 MB/s [ 42945.6 IOPS] Crucial CT1000P5SSD8 (1TB) -------------------------------------------------------------- Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 3503.111 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 2910.393 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 379.186 MB/s [ 92574.7 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 342.572 MB/s [ 83635.7 IOPS] Sequential Read (T= 1) : 2449.914 MB/s Sequential Write (T= 1) : 2795.464 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 56.786 MB/s [ 13863.8 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 127.672 MB/s [ 31169.9 IOPS] Intel 670p (512GB) -------------------------------------------------------------- Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 3045.141 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1): 1639.727 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 420.843 MB/s Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 304.840 MB/s Sequential Read (T= 1) : 2511.140 MB/s Sequential Write (T= 1) : 1619.614 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 65.020 MB/s Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1): 129.652 MB/s The results show us a few things. First, the Intel 670p does come in at the advertised spec speeds which is 3000 Read and 1600 Write (sequential for both), Second, when performing random reads and random writes (which is more in line with real life usage) it performs on par with the Seagate and Crucial units. Finally, unit is a nice slim design and temps were within acceptable ranges (with no heat sink or spreader needed).
Cons: Price point is a bit high. There are units that are below the asking price that outperform it. The sequential write is a big problem, with that almost a 1000Mb difference from other units at or below the price point of the 670p.
Overall Review: My concern is long term performance. The Intel 6xx series has had its up and downs. They were the first to introduce QLC and the earlier models were plagued with performance dipping real fast. I believe with the 660 and 670 series they have resolved that problem to an acceptable measure, but it is always something to keep in the back of your mind.
