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.
We use the following folder/file types:
- 100GB file
- 60GB iso image
- 50GB File folder – 28,523 files.
- 3D Printer file folder.
- AutoCAD File folder.
- 4K Movie Clip folder.
- 8K Movie Scenes folder.
The only time the Exos X16 fell below the 100MB/s bandwidth figure in our real life file transfer test was when it was dealing with the multitude of small files in the 50GB file folder transfer.
