OCZ Octane Series SATA III Solid State Drive Review
PCMark 7 Storage Benchmarks
 |
|
The OCZ Octane put up the lowest overall score in the PCMark 7 secondary storage benchmark, but that result is somewhat deceiving. If we tunnel into the individual test results, the OCZ Octane has some of the best scores in 6 of the 7 tests. It's only in the "Starting Applications" test that the Octane trails, and that drags its overall score down.
Having recorded this result, we spent some time launching applications on the OCZ Octane and compared them side-by-side with a SandForce-based drive and there was no perceptible difference.
