PCMark 10 is the latest version of the popular full system benchmark from UL. We used PCMark 10's Full System Drive Benchmark to test the drive's performance. According to UL, the Full System Drive Benchmark uses a wide-ranging set of real-world traces from popular applications and common tasks to fully test the performance of the fastest modern drives. The following traces were used and defined as follows:
boo: Booting Windows 10
sacr: Adobe Acrobat - starting the application until usable
saft: Adobe After Effects - starting the application until usable
sill: Adobe Illustrator - starting the application until usable
spre: Adobe Premiere Pro - starting the application until usable
slig: Adobe Lightroom - starting the application until usable
sps: Adobe Photoshop - starting the application until usable
bf: Battlefield V - starting the game until the main menu
cod: Call of Duty Black Ops 4 - starting the game until the main menu
ow: Overwatch - starting the game until main menu
aft: Using Adobe After Effects
exc: Using Microsoft Excel
ill: Using Adobe Illustrator
ind: Using Adobe InDesign
pow: Using Microsoft PowerPoint
psh: Using Adobe Photoshop (heavy use)
psl: Using Adobe Photoshop (light use)
cp1: Copying 4 ISO image files, 20 GB in total, from a secondary drive to the target drive (write test)
cp2: Making a copy of the ISO files (read-write test)
cp3: Copying the ISO to a secondary drive (read test)
cps1: Copying 339 JPEG files, 2.37 GB in total, to the target drive (write test)
cps2: Making a copy of the JPEG files (read-write test)
cps3: Copying the JPEG files to another drive (read test)
The Netac NV7000-t 1TB provided surprisingly decent numbers in PCMark 10's benchmark here, coming in fifth overall. It was definitely surpassed by the top three by a notable margin, but our drive today was no slouch either. Breaking down the numbers, the Netac NV7000-t was one of the fastest drives against other DRAM-less SSDs, coming in first nine times. Only the WD_BLACK SN770 1TB drive performed better in this group. The Netac NV7000-t also provided some of the best application launch and usage results. Where it struggled more was in the file transfer tests for both larger and smaller files. Even so, I was quite pleased overall with the showing of the Netac NV7000-t 1TB, especially considering this is a budget drive.
