PCMARK 10 FULL SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK
PCMark 10 Storage Benchmarks provide an overall score that reflects a drive’s performance, making comparisons between devices straightforward. In addition to the score, the tests report bandwidth and average access times. Each benchmark is based on traces captured during real-world tasks, including booting Windows 10, launching applications like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, working in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, and copying both large and small files.
A score of 7045 is the fifth best score we have ever received in the PCMark 10 Full System Storage Benchmark and is a great result.
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, the KIOXIA Exceria Pro G2 completed this benchmark with the 5th top result to date which is excellent.
TRUE DATA TESTING
For our True Data Testing, we simply loaded 15GB video, music, photo and OS files onto the KIOXIA Exceria Pro G2 2TB SSD and copied the data to a new folder on that same disk.
Don’t let this chart fool you. There are only a few seconds that separate the top result to date and the KIOXIA Exceria Pro G2 which sits comfortably in that 10th spot. Countless others fall behind the Exceria Pro.
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 result.
The KIOXIA Exceria Pro G2 Gen5 SSD provided an excellent return in DiskMark testing, placing 9th 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.
Game load time testing for the KIOXIA Exceria Pro G2 Gen5 SSD came in at 6.03 seconds which was a very decent return. This did not make ‘Top 10’ but there is still less than a second between the Exceria Pro G2 result and that top spot.
