PCMARK 10 FULL SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK
PCMark 10 Storage Benchmarks produce an overall score as a measure of drive performance. Comparing devices is as simple as comparing scores. The tests also measure and report the bandwidth and average access time performance for the drive. Each test uses traces recorded while performing real-world tasks such as booting Windows 10, starting applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, working with applications such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, and copying several large files and many small files.
This chart DOES NOT depict the Top 10, but rather, where the Crucial P510 sits amongst similarly performing SSDs. We might suggest that placement amongst DRAM-based Gen5 SSDs is a good indication of the quality of this SSD.
PCMARK 10 QUICK SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK
The Quick System Drive Benchmark is a subset of the Full test and is more representative of typical daily usage to show what would be expected regarding hybrid SSD performance on a day-to-day basis.
Once again, this chart DOES NOT depict the Top 10, but rather, where the Crucial P510 sits amongst similarly performing SSDs. We might suggest that placement amongst DRAM-based Gen5 SSDs is a good indication of the quality of this SSD.
TRUE DATA TESTING
For our True Data Testing, we simply loaded 15GB video, music, photo and OS files onto the Crucial P510 Gen5 2TB SSD and copied the data to a new folder on that same disk.
This chart DOES NOT depict the Top 10, but rather, where the Crucial P510 sits amongst similarly performing SSDs. We might suggest that placement amongst DRAM-based Gen5 SSDs is a good indication of the quality of this SSD.
PASSMARK PERFORMANCE TEST
We thought we might add a few extras in our report today, PassMark Performance Test DiskMark component being a nice addition. This software tests sequential reads and writes, along with IOPS and compares the result with millions of other SSDs worldwide. We might suggest being in the 99th percentile of all SSDs tested was a nice resul
The Crucial P510 placed as we might expect returning performance above 9GB/s read and write data transfer.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER BENCHMARK
The Final Fantasy Benchmark is a new tool in our arsenal and geared specifically to the gamer. The software is installed directly on the SSD and the SSD tested, providing and end result of FPS and scene transition times.
The Crucial P510 Gen5 2TB DRAMless SSD placed low compared to the number of SSDs tested to date in this scenario. We expected such from a DRAMless SSD.
