PCPer File Copy Test
PC Perspective File-Copy Test v0.3
Our custom PCPer-FC test does some fairly simple file creation and copy routines in order to test the storage system for speed. The script creates a set of files of varying sizes, times the creation process, then copies the same files to another partition on the same hard drive and times the copy process as well. There are four file patterns that we used to try and find any strong or weak points in the hardware: 10 files @ 1000 MB each, 100 files @ 100 MB each, 500 files @ 10 MB each and 1000 files at 1 MB each.
Well the first results for the OCZ 64GB SSD drive aren’t that impressive as it comes in at the very back of the pack in our file creation process and only barely outperforms the 2.5″ WD Scorpio drive in the file copy test. This is a tad bit disappointing and even confusion considering that the flash memory on the SSD has such low seek times as we’ll soon see.
