Futuremark 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.  

On PCMark 7, the Transcend SSD320 managed 4657 PCMarks, which is comparable to the Intel SSD 335 Series and ahead of the OCZ Vertex 4. It is a decent showing, but it was still almost 14% lesser than what the Transcend SSD720 could achieve, showing again the disparity in performance between Transcend's high-end and mainstream offerings. Interestingly, it was performing much better than the OCZ Agility 4 on this test.
