The storage benchmark as part of 3DMark is no longer brand new, but actually still quite up-to-date. It is rather pointless to try to measure the actual performance of a disk with tools like CrystalDiskMark or Atto, because these tools are actually only good for showing off in the gallery. Are there already first surprises here? First, let’s look at the overall score.
Overall result (score)
We see that the gap between the three PCIe 4.0 SSDs remains relatively small, and the difference between the slower PCIe 4.0 SSD and the fast PCIe 3.0 SSD (both with 2 TB) is not as extreme as expected. In return, the performance drop among the PCIe 3.0 SSDs is quite severe and even the old external SATA SSD is not that far away. The mechanical hard drive is definitely at a disadvantage here and is actually only good as a (very valid and stable) data grave.
Access times
The access times are greatly overrated in many situations, but these results are not quite so superfluous. At least not when the mechanical data grave comes into play and lags heavily. All SSDs are relatively close to each other here and even the slowest SSD is not even slower by a factor of 3. Whether and when you even notice this in practice depends very much on the application.
Bandwidth
This value is quite relevant when it comes to moving larger amounts of data. However, it also shows very clearly that the theoretical up-to data rates advertised so fiercely on the marketing slides do not arrive at all in practice. The first SSDs are still very close to each other.
So, we can see that even in this synthetic benchmark, which is still based on gaming, the very big numbers on the packaging cannot play the zampano at all, but many things are quickly put into perspective in everyday use. And whether you have to wait one or two or three seconds longer for the savegame to load: So what?
