SSD Performance

In this round of benchmarks, we start off with our real-world file copy tests. Currently, certain controllers benefit from compressed files, yet others don't. Certain storage units hate small files, whereas others work well with them. So it only makes sense to do some manual tests on that. Any storage unit's nightmare, whether it is an HDD or SSD, is storing really small files as fast as possible.

File Copy

This is the most basic and simple test anyone can perform. We drop a compressed ~ 62 GB MKV file onto the SSD.

The SSD managed to write the data staying at about ~445 GB/s, no major fluctuations visible.

Game Load Time Performance

The audience that we cater to here at Guru3D.com is made up primarily of gamers. For that reason, I'd like to start offering real-world game performance tests. A lot of things happen in the system when a game is loading. The CPU is hard at work, your SSD loads up executables, binaries, shaders, textures, and what not, while the system memory processes it all. Thing is, with a fast SSD you can really decrease the overall loading time of your games and levels.

Our measurements are based on game sequence load time, which we translate into the number of MB/s that the storage unit can manage and load. Higher is better in this chart.

Performance Application Load Time

Here, we emulate the loading of complex software like Photoshop, Internet Explorer, Word, PowerPoint, etc. So we’re checking how many applications / dlls / hooks / etc. this storage unit can cope with simultaneously, in MB/s. High-IOPS storage units will score better here, as they can manage more files in a shorter time.

Patriot Viper Steel RGB 3600 MHz (2x 16GB) review
Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel RGB 3600 MHz CL20 (yes – 20!) memory in a 32 GB set consisting of two 16 GB modules. I can say that we’ve had our fair share of experience with Patriot RAM. We had an opportunity to test a similarly clocked kit (3600 MHz) from the Viper Steel series (so no RGB there), but the capacity was 2 x 32 GB back then, and the latencies were quite surprisingly better, at 18-22-22-42. Before that, we also reviewed one of the fastest 2 x 8 GB kits in the range, clocked at 4000 MHz with CL19 latency.

Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 3600 MHz (64GB) review
Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel 3600 MHz CL18 memory in a 64 GB set consisting of two 32 GB modules. At the beginning of 2019, we had an opportunity to check a higher-clocked kit from that series (4000 MHz), but the capacity was 2 x 8 GB. Patriot’s Viper Steel Series is offered at speeds ranging from 3000 MHz up to 4400 MHz, with XMP 2.0 support.
