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.
PCMark 10 results placed the SK hynix Platinum P41 as second best which was great to see.
PCMARK 10 QUICK SYSTEM STORAGE BENCHMARK
The Quick System Drive Benchmark is a subset of the Full test and is more representative of typical daily usage to show what would be expected regarding hybrid SSD performance on a day-to-day basis.
The SK hynix just keeps pushing. Both PCMark 10 Tests show only the Intel Optane as bettering this drive.
TRUE DATA TESTING
For our True Data Testing, we simply loaded 15GB video, music, photo and OS files onto the SK hynix Platinum P41 Gen 4 NVMe SSD and copied the data to a new folder on that same disk.
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 result.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER BENCHMARK
The Final Fantasy Benchmark is a new tool in our arsenal and geared specifically to the gamer. The software is installed directly on the SSD and the SSD tested, providing and end result of FPS and scene transition times.
The SK hynix Platinum P41 Gen4 SSD topped out as the best SSD in this category and then some!
Nowhere in this review did you mention temperatures, requirements for a thermal solution, etc.
Would this be a good option for a PS5? Does it run too hot?
Can someone explain to me why no one makes and sells SLC SSDs today, even though Chinese SSDs on Chinese TLC memory cost a penny? What prevents switching NAND chips from TLC mode to permanent SLC mode, albeit with a loss of 2/3 capacity? But the speed is always the same as in SLC mode and an indestructible resource, plus a data storage time of at least 10 years.
What would a smart buyer prefer if they were offered a 2TB 3D TLC SSD for $100 or a 666GB SLC drive for the same price? Well, yes, I am aware that most people are idiots and marketers rule them …
It’s not a loss of 2/3 of capacity. SLC > MLC > TLC means 2^n so it’s actually 3/4 capacity loss. Basically, it would cost 4 times as much. You also have to consider that NAND density is a huge issue as well.
