Intel SSD DC P3700 NVMe PCIe Review

PCMark 7 Storage Benchmarks

We really like PCMark 7's Secondary Storage benchmark module for its pseudo real-world application measurement approach to testing. PCMark 7 offers a trace-based measurement of system response times under various scripted workloads of traditional client / desktop system operation. From simple application start-up performance, to data streaming from a drive in a game engine, and video editing with Windows Movie Maker, we feel more comfortable that these tests reasonably illustrate the performance profile of SSDs in an end-user / consumer PC usage model, more so than a purely synthetic transfer test.

The Intel SSD DC P3700 isn't necessarily targeted at client workloads, but pricing on the some of the drives is somewhat approachable, and we suspect some hardcore-enthusiasts may consider one of these drives for a new build. With that in mind, we ran PCMark 7 on the Intel SSD DC P3700 and have the results for your here.  As you can see, the drive was clearly the fastest overall.
