Synthetic Storage Benchmarks
PCMark 10
We are using PCMark 10’s Full System Drive Storage Benchmark. It outputs an overall score (higher is better) that is derived from the Bandwidth (higher is better) as well as access time (lower is better) results.
The overall score on the CORSAIR Force MP600 1TB SSD is 2154, and on the Sabrent Rocket 500GB SSD it is 1958. That makes the CORSAIR Force MP600 1TB SSD 10% faster in this benchmark.
The Bandwidth score is 354.08MB/s on the CORSAIR Force MP600 1TB SSD which is 11% higher than the Sabrent Rocket 500GB at 318.28MB/s. The bandwidth result is a way to quantify the amount of time the storage device is executing I/Os, and higher is better.
Testing access time, the CORSAIR Force MP600 1TB resulted in an 80 microsecond access time, which was faster than the 87 microsecond access time of the Sabrent Rocket 500GB SSD, an 8% improvement.
PassMark PerformanceTEST
We are using PassMark’s PerformanceTEST Disk Mark benchmark only. This test benchmarks Disk Sequential Read, Disk Sequential Write, IOPS 32KQD20, IOPS 4KQD1 tests and outputs an overall score (higher is better.)
The CORSAIR Force MP600 1TB SSD scores 39,445 while Sabrent Rocket 500GB scores 31,424. This is an improvement of 26% for the CORSAIR MP600. This is mostly due to the faster write speeds on the CORSAIR MP600, it handles random writes a lot better.
