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 is not the Top 10 of the results but, as you can see, the Lexar Professional NM1090 Pro is right in the thick of the Gen5 SSD family.
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.
The NM1090 did place in the Top 10 with respect to PCMark 10 Quick System Drive Testing.
TRUE DATA TESTING
For our True Data Testing, we simply loaded 15GB video, music, photo and OS files onto the Lexar Professional NM1090 Pro Gen5 SSD and copied the data to a new folder on that same disk.
The NM1090 Pro didn’t place as well as we had hoped in these tests, although it needs to be considered that the difference between top and median placement is seconds…
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 Lexar Professional NM1090 Pro placed in the No.3 spot of all tests to date with PassMark DiskMark.
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.
This was perhaps the most disappointing of all tests as the NM1090 Pro had relatively low game load times. We actually tried this test in three different systems, all with relatively similar 7 second results.
