To test real life performance of a drive we use a mix of folder/file types and by using the FastCopy utility (which gives a time as well as MB/s result) we record the performance of drive reading from & writing to a 256GB Samsung SSD850 PRO.
60GB Steam folder – 29,521 files.
50GB File folder – 28,523 files.
12GB Movie folder – 24 files (mix of Blu-ray and 4K files).
10GB Photo folder – 621 files (mix of .png, raw and .jpeg images).
10GB Audio folder – 1,483 files (mix of mp3 and .flac files).
The M7V shows good consistency in the real life file transfer tests. It's particularly rapid at reading large files as can be seen by the 451MB/s figure for the 12GB Movie folder which consists of large video files. A 60GB Steam folder takes a shade under four minutes to write to the drive and two and a half minutes to read the data back.
