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 Seagate FireCuda X1070 Gen4 2TB SSD placed in the bottom third of all SSDs tested to date. This is not a ‘best of’ chart, but rather a chart which places the FireCuda X1070 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.

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 95th percentile of all SSDs tested was a below average result.
