CrystalDiskMark and Samsung Magician Benchmarks and Writes on SSDs

Is more data written to an SSD in CrystalDiskMark and Samsung Magician during write tests the faster the SSD write speed is? I noticed that on my 250 GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD if I run the benchmark in Samsung Magician, about 100 GB gets written on it, 1.8 GB writes on it before running the benchmark and then 1.9 GB writes on it after running the benchmark and then 2.0 GB writes on it if after running the benchmark again. However on my 2TB Samsung 850 EVO and my 120 GB Samsung 750 EVO, less than 100 GB gets written to those on the same benchmark. This seems to be the same situation when running CrystalDiskMark on those SSDs, although I think that much less than 100 GB get's written to during CrystalDiskMark on the 970 EVO Plus but still the 970 EVO Plus seems write more GB's to the SSD during both benchmarks than the slower SSD's that have around 5 times slower sequential write performance than the 970 EVO Plus. Are higher GBs of writes going to be performed on an SSD with faster write performance in these benchmarks during the write tests?

I just ran the CrystalDiskMark sequential write test on my 2 TB Samsung 850 EVO and 250 GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus. After running the sequential write test, My 850 EVO get's 16 GB written to and my 970 EVO Plus gets 67-68 GB written which is about proportional to the sequential write performance of these SSDs. Does CrystalDiskMark working in how much can be written to for a certain amount of time as I noticed that a faster SSD does not finish benchmark sooner than a slower SSD? GBs written was verfied by CrystalDiskInfo.
