This is repeated 5 times which accounts for garbage collection and
RECOVERY PHASE – The SSD is allowed to idle for 5 minutes before and between performance tests of all applications. STEADY STATE PHASE – The drive is hit with random writes of between 4KB and 1MB for 45 minutes before each application is put through a performance test. The cycle is repeated 8 times, and with each time, the duration of random writes increases by 5 minutes DEGRADATION PHASE – The SSD is hit with random writes of between 4KB and 1MB for 10 minutes and then a single pass performance test is done of each application. The second run accounts for overprovisioning that would have escaped the first PRECONDITIONING -The entire SSD is filled twice sequentially with random data of a 128KB file size. In each phase, several performance tests are run of 10 different software programs Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop Heavy and Photoshop Light, Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and Word, as well as Battlefield 3 and World of Warcraft to cover the gaming element. There are 18 phases of testing throughout the entire run, 8 runs of the Degradation Phase, 5 runs of the Steady State Phase and 5 runs of the Recovery Phase. 
As this is a specialized component of PCMark 8 Professional, its final result is void of any colorful graphs or charts typical of the normal online results and deciphering the resulting excel file into an easily understood result takes several more hours.
This software is the longest in our battery of tests and takes just under 18 hours per SSD. PCMARK 8 EXTENDED STORAGE WORKLOAD CONSISTENCY TESTINGįor our last benchmark, we have decided to use PCMark 8 Extended Storage Workload in order to determine steady state throughput of the SSD. The best result was achieved during the Windows Media Center benchmark where it achieved 456MB/s. Let’s see how it compares to other SSDs in PCMark 8’s extended testing! The majority of results were above or near the 400MB/s. The Kingston SSDNow UV400 480GB SSD delivered a great score of 89K points during its PCMark Vantage run.
Media Center which can handle video recording, time shifting and streaming from Windows media center to an extender such as Xbox. Home Video editing with Movie Maker which can be very time consuming. Importing digital photos into Windows Photo Gallery. Streaming Data from storage in games such as Alan Wake which allows for massive worlds and riveting non-stop action. There are eight tests in all and the tests performed record the speed of data movement in MB/s to which they are then given a numerical score after all of the tests are complete. The SSD Review uses benchmark software called PCMark Vantage 圆4 HDD Suite to create testing scenarios that might be used in the typical user experience.
