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.
We’ve included some first round results of the Micron Crucial C300 with this test, leveling the field a bit by keeping it on the same controller type. Our full C300 review is coming, pending additional long-term fragmentation testing currently taking place in our lab.
