PCMark 7 aims to shed a little more insight into real life performance of your computer hardware by semi-synthetic means -- and all insight is good, right? The great thing about standardized tests is anyone can repeat them and get very similar results, given identical hardware. PCMark 7 is a Windows desktop environment based test, which is exactly what we are after. Well, I am not going to narrate the stuff above in detail, because we all know graphs are there for a very good reason. Just to give you a bit of insight if you are too lazy to go through all eight comparisons, the Gigabyte AORUS RGB AIC NVMe SSD 512GB came in fourth overall; finishing just a hair behind the SX8200 Pro 512GB and VPN100 512GB. In the subcategories, it was generally in the same ballpark as the ADATA and Patriot drives, but consistently crossing the line just behind them by a very small margin. PCMark 7 uses some pretty simple simulations, so it is pretty optimized for drives with relatively fast linear read. The AORUS RGB AIC NVMe SSD 512GB's results were generally excellent.
