#OCZ REVODRIVE 400 NVME SSD ALAUNCH WINDOWS#
I love PCMark's Productivity test in this test there are four tasks going on at once, searching through Windows contacts, searching through Windows Mail, browsing multiple webpages in IE7 and loading applications. The second test simulates web surfing (including opening/closing tabs) in IE7, data decryption and running Windows Defender. The first test simulates data encryption/decryption while running message rules in Windows Mail. The Communications suite is made up of two tests, both involving light multitasking. In the Music suite the main test is a multitasking scenario: the test simulates surfing the web in IE7, transcoding an audio file and adding music to Windows Media Player (the most disk intensive portion of the test). Take these results as a best case scenario of what can happen, not the norm. All of the SSDs dominate here, but as you'll see later on in my gaming tests the benefits of an SSD really vary depending on the game. The gaming tests are very well suited to SSDs since they spend a good portion of their time focusing on reading textures and loading level data.

The TV and Movies tests focus on on video transcoding which is mostly CPU bound, but one of the tests involves Windows Media Center which tends to be disk bound. The memories suite includes a test involving importing pictures into Windows Photo Gallery and editing them, a fairly benign task that easily falls into the category of being very influenced by disk performance. All this tells us is that for typical desktop usage models you won’t get a huge performance boost. The RevoDrive is only 7% faster than a single Vertex 2. PCMark Vantage maintains that this is the case. I argued that for most users, the performance improvement wasn’t worth the trouble. Years ago I did an article tackling the real world performance improvement by putting two hard drives in RAID-0. Any performance impacts here would most likely be reflected in the real world. I’ve described the benchmark in great detail before but if you’d like to read up on what it does in particular, take a look at Futuremark’s whitepaper on the benchmark it’s not perfect, but it’s good enough to be a member of a comprehensive storage benchmark suite. It runs things like application launches, file searches, web browsing, contacts searching, video playback, photo editing and other completely mundane but real-world tasks.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with PCMark Vantage, it ends up being the most real-world-like hard drive test I can come up with. Next up is PCMark Vantage, another system-wide performance suite. Overall System Performance using PCMark Vantage & SYSMark
