PCMark 7 Results

PCMark 7 is a benchmarking suite from FutureMark that evaluates the performance of Windows 7 machines. It tests a wide range workloads and aspects of the system ranging from computation, image and video manipulation and storage. We’ll be looking solely at the storage test here.

The ADATA SP920SS performed disappointingly on PCMark 7 and scored about 9% less than the Crucial M550. It was also the only drive to record a score of below 5000. Even the Crucial M500, which also uses 128Gbit NAND, managed a score of 5247, which was a good 8% better. Amongst the mainstream SSDs, the Samsung SSD 840 EVO led the way, whereas its big brother, the Samsung SSD 840 Pro, was the top performer on this benchmark.
