Battlefield V

The Klevv CRAS C930 test result of 812.24MB/s sees it in the bottom half of the results chart.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4

The drive handled the Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 test a little better than the Battlefield V and Overwatch ones, but not by much.

Overwatch

The Overwatch game loading test finds the drive in the bottom half of the results chart, faster than the CRAS C910 but slower than the C925, which is further up the results chart.

Game Move

The CRAS C930 doesn't handle this test very well at all, sitting in last place on the results chart by quite some distance.

Game Recording

In the Game Recording test, the Klevv drive sits in a mid-table position.

Installing Game

The Game Installation test is another that the Klevv drive doesn't handle very well at all. It sits in last place on the results table by a long way.

Game Saving

As with the Game Move and Installing Game tests, the drive doesn't seem to handle the Game Saving test too well either.

Overall

Further proof of how the Klevv CRAS C930 struggled with the 3DMark Storage Benchmark tests is its overall bandwidth figure, which puts it into last place in the table, 114.69MB/s behind the next slowest drive.
