Just like the Consistency test, PCMark 8’s Standard Storage test also saves a large amount of performance data. The default test runs through the test suite of 10 applications three times. Here we show the total bandwidth performance for each of the individual test suites for the third and final benchmark run.

The drive produces some strong bandwidth figures for PCMark 8's Standard Storage test, especially for the two Adobe Photoshop tests.

When it comes to the total bandwidth performance figure, the SN550 is some 121.51MB/s faster than the previous SN500 drive.
