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).
As you might expect, the SSD960 EVO dealt with real life file transfers without missing a beat. It shows very good consistency between read and writes dealing with the small bity files of the 50GB file and 60GB Steam folder transfers. It is also very quick dealing with the larger file sizes.
