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.
The KIOXIA Exceria G3 Gen5 4TB SSD achieved a respectable result and the below comparative chart places it amongst similar performing SSDs in its category.
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.
Again, the KIOXIA Exceria G3 Gen5 4TB SSD is placed among other similarly performing SSD results for this test.
TRUE DATA TESTING
For our True Data Testing, we simply loaded 15GB video, music, photo and OS files onto the KIOXIA Exceria G3 Gen5 4TB SSD and copied the data to a new folder on that same disk.
The Exceria G3 placed in the mid-range of all SSDs tested to date and surrounded by other DRAM-less SSDs as expected.
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.
The Exceria G3 placed in the mid-range of all SSDs tested to date.
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.
With a game load time of only 5.8 seconds, the KIOXIA Exceria G3 Gen5 4TB placed unexpectedly well in this benchmark software.
