Crucial MX100 512GB Solid State Drive Review

PCMark 8 Storage


Use the PCMark 8 Storage benchmark to test the performance of SSDs, HDDs and hybrid drives with traces recorded from Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office and a selection of popular games. You can test the system drive or any other recognised storage device, including local external drives. Unlike synthetic storage tests, the PCMark 8 Storage benchmark highlights real-world performance differences between storage devices.

As a performance metric, I have started to use PCMark 8’s Storage test as part of the review process following request from one or two readers. Whilst some benchmarks only give us an idea of the performance under a full load scenario, PCMark 8 simulates a number of different real world workloads, giving us a better idea of how a drive performs in given situations.
