The South Korean, consumer-orientated website, Danawa,
recently scrutinized a bunch of SSDs and found Digifast to be quite good!
Danawa is a popular website that offers users a plethora of
tests and information regarding products that they sell. Consumers can utilize
this information to make an educated purchase. In this case, they ran tests on
SSDs using two benchmarks: AS SSD and Anvil.
The 1TB Digifast NVMe M.2 was submitted with 16 other M.2
NVMe drives using the machine specs listed below. Figure 1 shows the results of
the AS SSD bench, and figure 2 shows the results of the Anvil bench. Each
measures the sequential and random read/write speeds of target SSDs using large
and small files. After testing, each drive is given a score based on the
combined results of each test. The results are posted below and the full
article is available at http://dpg.danawa.com/bbs/view?boardSeq=231&listSeq=4096650

As you can see, Digifast performs up to and beyond the level
we have come to expect from NVMe M.2. The combination of small reads and writes
individually as well as queued couple with sequential reads and writes gives
Digifast an all-around great performance rating.
