BIWIN Black Opal 4TB NV7400 Gen4 SSD Review – Decent DRAM-less Speed from a Maxio Controller & Micron B58R Memory

PCMARK 10 FULL SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK

PCMark 10 Storage Benchmarks produce an overall score as a measure of drive performance. Comparing devices is as simple as comparing scores. The tests also measure and report the bandwidth and average access time performance for the drive. Each test uses traces recorded while performing real-world tasks such as booting Windows 10, starting applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, working with applications such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, and copying several large files and many small files.

This Chart depicts the BIWIN Black Opal NV7400 amongst its peers and in no way suggests its placement or ranking amongst the full gambit of SSDs tested to date.  If we were to speak of placement the NV7400 would be in the mid-third of SSDs tested, which is actually fairly decent as it has bettered a few DRAM based Gen 4 SSDs.  Notice how it sits right beside that Predator GM7 which, as we identified, is almost identical.

This is not a ranking, but rather, an example of how the NV7400 placed amongst other SSDs.  It placed just above the half way point of all SSDs tested to date in real world data transfer.

PASSMARK PERFORMANCE TEST

We thought we might add a few extras in our report today, PassMark Performance Test DiskMark component being a nice addition. This software tests sequential reads and writes, along with IOPS and compares the result with millions of other SSDs worldwide. We might suggest being in the 99th percentile of all SSDs tested was a nice resul
