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.
The Micron 3610 Gen5 QLC SSD placed as expected for a DRAMless SSD in PCMark 10 Full System Drive Benchmark. This is not a ‘best of’ chart, but rather a chart which places the Micron 3610 Gen5 SSD amongst its peers.
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 Micron 3610 Gen5 2TB QLC SSD placed well with respect to other DRAMless SSDs trailing right behind.
TRUE DATA TESTING
For our True Data Testing, we simply loaded 15GB video, music, photo and OS files onto the Micron 3610 DRAMless Gen5 2TB SSD and copied the data to a new folder on that same disk.
The Micron 3610 did well in true data testing, standing up there with other TLC-based DRAM-based SSDs.
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 Micron 3610 Gen5 SSD provided a decent return in DiskMark testing. This is not a ‘best of’ chart, but rather a chart which places the Micron 3610 amongst its peers.
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 Micron 3610 Gen5 SSD came in at 6.972 seconds. This was not one of our best results.
