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 Samsung SSD 850 series drives took the two top spots in our PCMark 7 tests as well. The 128GB and 1TB drives led the pack virtually across the board in the individual tests, which shows in their overall scores.

And here is what PCMark 7 performance looks like with RAPID mode enabled. The largest jumps in performance come in the "Starting Applications" and "Importing Pictures" tests.
