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 SSD 850 PRO managed a PCMark score of 5622, although this is the highest amongst the drives tested, it is just seven more than the SSD 840 PRO. However, if we were to look at the breakdown, we can see that it is marginally faster across all workloads, losing out only on the “Starting Applications” work scenario. This consistency in performance is quite impressive.
