Futuremark PCMark Vantage Results

PCMark Vantage might have been around for quite some time, but it is still a fairly accurate representation of how the drives might be used in real-world scenarios. We are focusing on the hard drive test suite which comprises of tasks such as loading of applications to media creation.

The OCZ Vertex 4 didn’t generate an overall score because it failed to complete one of the runs, which was Test 7 - Windows Media Player, Adding Music. The only other drive that couldn’t complete this particular test was the Crucial M4 drive, which also uses a Marvell controller (the Indilinx controller used in Vertex 4 is also a Marvell based controller, but with Indilinx firmware). On the other tests, the Vertex 4 was disappointing, often recording much lower speeds than the quickest SandForce drives.
