File Copy | Game | Throughput Performance | Workstation
DiskBench
With DiskBench we place a 50GB single file onto the test drive. We copy this file from the test drive to a new folder on the test drive, volume to volume. This tests the performance of the drive’s ability to copy a single large file from itself to itself as if you were copying files on the same drive, it replicates this drive being your primary and only drive. Results are in duration Seconds, lower is better.
Copying a large 50GB file from volume to volume the addlink S95 2TB SSD performs extremely well, in fact, this result shocked us because it matched our previous fastest SSD here, the Netac NV7000-t. The addlink S95 2TB SSD was able to copy this large 50GB file to itself in just 15.2 seconds, beating all the other SSDs by a long shot. This is just top-tier file disk copy performance.
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 file game loading, the addlink S95 2TB SSD pulled in a very good performance as well, at 10.24 seconds it is on the faster end of game load time performance.
ATTO
In ATTO the addlink S95 2TB SSD performs at 6.97GB/s read and 6.56GB/s write performance, which puts it above most SSDs, and falls in line with the fastest SSDs on read performance. For write performance, it once again offers the fastest write performance, beating the ADATA LEGEND 960 which was the previous write performance leader here, the addlink S95 is just faster at write performance.
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.
The addlink S95 2TB SSD is also no slouch in workstation application performance, in SPECworkstation 3.1 it provided a subsystem score of 6.43 which is above the MSI SPATIUM M480, PATRIOT VIPER VPR400, MSI SPATIUM M470, and CORSAIR Force MP600 by a great margin. It’s close to the performance of the Lexar NM800 PRO and would perform well as a workstation or creator-driven SSD.
