Futuremark PCMark 7 Results

PCMark 7 is the current 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.

Marvell drives have typically not performed well on PCMark 7, but the Plextor M5M did manage to outscore the flagship M5 Pro drive by 651 PCMarks or almost 25%. However, it trailed the Intel SSD 520 Series mSATA drive by a whopping 2057 PCMarks - more than 60%.
