PCMark 7

PCMark 7 is the latest 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 Transcend SATA III SSD720 recorded a score of 5393 PCMarks, which puts it within close company of super fast drives like the Intel SSD 520 Series, Kingston HyperX and OCZ Vertex 3. Looking at the breakdown of the scores, it was mostly on a par with the drives except when it came to the “Starting Applications” test where it was significantly slower than the competition. On the upside, it was pack leader for video editing, running Windows Defender and in gaming. So far it sounds good.
