File Copy and Workstation Performance
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 CORSAIR MP700 PRO 2TB PCIe Gen5 SSD is once again the fastest drive out of the bunch, even the ADATA LEGEND 970 Gen5 SSD. We can copy a 50GB file in just 14 seconds, beating the ADATA LEGEND 970 by 5% in performance. Compared to the MP600 it is 36% faster, and compared to the fastest Gen4 SSD it is 8% faster.
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 CORSAIR MP700 PRO 2TB PCIe Gen5 SSD is also at the top in professional workstation SPECworkstation 3.1 workloads. At 7.06 it beats the ADATA LEGEND 970 by 3% and beats the MP600 by 48%. Any way you slice it, the CORSAIR MP700 PRO 2TB PCIe Gen5 SSD is also perfect for professional workstation applications.
