Samsung SSD860 PRO 4TB SSD Review

PCMark 8’s Consistency test provides a huge amount of performance data, so here we’ve looked a little closer at how the Samsung SSD860 PRO performs in each of the benchmarks test suites.

Adobe Creative Cloud

As usual in the Adobe suite of tests it's the two Photoshop traces that hit the drive the hardest, but what is unusual with SSD860 PRO is that it's the Photoshop Light trace that the drive has problems with rather than the usual Photoshop Heavy tests and also the Indesign trace causes performance to drop. The bandwidth drops to as low as 130MB/s at one point in the Photoshop Light test but the drive recovers well averaging 422.91MB/s for the five recovery phases.

Microsoft Office

In the Microsoft Office tests, it's the Word trace that hammers the drive but as before the drive recovers from the ordeal very well indeed.

Casual Gaming

When it comes to the two gaming tests, the drive performs is pretty constant for the whole test without any alarming drops for the two traces at any stage during the test runs.
