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.
In PCMark 10’s full system drive storage benchmark, the Lexar Professional NM800 PRO 1TB SSD produces a total score of 2884. In this graph, it is slightly faster than the Patriot Viper VPR400 1TB SSD and is under the Acer Predator GM7000, Adata Legend 960, and Acer Predator GM7. At 2884 it is 3% faster than the Patriot Viper VPR400 1TB SSD. It’s also faster than the MSI Spatium M480 and Corsair Force MP600.
Testing access time, the Lexar NM800 PRO does well under 60, at 58. It’s better than the Patriot Viper VPR400, but at the highest end, the Acer Predator GM7 is at 50, while Adata Legend 960 is at 51. Once again, performance is good, above average, and certainly better than the Spatium M480 and a lot better than the M470 and Corsair MP600.
In the above graph, we are testing PCMark 10’s Quick Storage Benchmark, which utilizes a lighter workload of traces meant for smaller drives, it provides an interesting contrast to the wide-ranging test of the full benchmark above. We find in these different workload traces that the Lexar Professional NM800 PRO 1TB SSD does very well, only under the Adata Legend 960 and Acer Predator GM7000, but above absolutely everything else by a good margin. Here it is performing very well, and very competitive.
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 PerformanceTEST the Lexar NM800 PRO 1TB SSD ends up in about the middle of the pack, but there are some outliers on the high-end in this particular test. The Lexar NM800 PRO is still holding its own against the Patriot Viper VPR400.
