Synthetic Storage Benchmarks – XPG ATOM 30
PCMark 10
We are using PCMark 10’s Full System Drive Storage Benchmark. The Full Storage Benchmark runs a wide-ranging set of real-world traces from popular applications and common tasks. It outputs an overall score (higher is better) as well as access time (lower is better) results.
The ADATA XPG ATOM 30 SSD scores 1574, putting it slightly above the SAMSUNG 970 EVO, and well above the ADATA XPG SX8100NP by 10%. However, it does fall short of the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, and Teamgroup MP34. This puts it at about the middle of the road.
The access time follows suit as well, being the same as the Samsung 970 EVO, and beating the ADATA XPG SX8100NP, but not as quick as the Samsung 970 EVO Plus or Teamgroup MP34.
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.)
In PassMark’s PerformanceTEST Disk Mark the ADATA XPG ATOM 30 falls toward the bottom of the pack, but not as far bottom as the Teamgroup MP34 has. The ADATA XPG ATOM 30 beats it by 28%, which is quite a bit. The Samsung 970 Evo, Evo Plus, and ADATA XPG SX8100NP are overall faster, so this shows that the ATOM 30 is at the lower end of performance overall, but that is no surprise considering the price point and rated speeds.
