Game Load Time, Workstation, ATTO – XPG ATOM 30
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker Benchmark
The Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker Benchmark is a unique game benchmark that allows us to objectively calculate the load times of different game scenes loading on the SSD. This benchmark runs multiple scenes that it benchmarks, it also keeps track of the scene load times for each scene and reports a duration, in addition, it provides an overall average duration of all the scenes together. This provides consistency in testing. We report the overall average scene load time of all the scenes in seconds, lower is better.
In terms of game scene loading times, the ADATA XPG ATOM 30 performs middle of the road, providing a faster load time than the ADATA XPG SX8100NP and Samsung 970 EVO, but the EVO Plus and Teamgroup MP34 is faster. The time here is certainly respectable.
SPECworkstation 3.1
We are using SPECworkstation 3.1 and specifically the WPCstorage test. “The storage workload is based on storage transaction traces from a wide variety of professional applications engaged in real work.” It includes media and entertainment, product development, life sciences, energy, and general operations. Each program receives a score, and they are averaged together for an overall score, higher is better.
In SPECworkstation 3.1 the ADATA XPG ATOM 30 performs at the bottom of the pack, well below the ADATA XPG SX8100NP. The SAMSUNG 970 EVO SSDs are much faster and better here, at least twice as fast. The ADATA XPG ATOM 30 is not the SSD for workstation-class applications, there are faster SSDs for that.
ATTO
In ATTO Disk Benchmark the ADATA XPG ATOM 30 SSD is providing about 2.48GB/s of read and 1.98GB/s of write performance, which performs just under the rated speeds. This puts it faster than the Teamgroup MP34, but slower than the other SSDs.
