ADOBE CS6 LOAD TIME

ADVERTISEMENT

Photoshop is a notoriously slow loading program under the best of circumstances, and while the latest version is actually pretty decent, when you add in a bunch of extra brushes and the such you get a really great torture test which can bring even the best of the best to their knees. Let’s see how our review unit faired in the Adobe crucible!adobe

VMWare Load Time Performance

VMWare is a powerful application which allows users the ability to run a virtualized Operating System from inside their main OS. This program is not only processor and RAM intensive but puts significant load on the storage subsystem with deep, heavy read/write IO requests to the drive. To help give you a general idea on the performance improvements from running a RAM Drive we have timed the time it takes to load XP SP3 from inside VMWare.vm

These may be the kind of scenarios that do not play the MX300’s strengths but as Stalin once said “quantity has a quality all its own” and when you combine massive capacity with a massive amount of SLC-cache the end result is a drive that can handle tasks that many SATA solid state drives cannot.

Borderlands 2 Load time

For Borderlands 2 we have recorded the time it takes to fast travel from Sanctuary map to Oasis. Oasis is the beginning of the Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty DLC. This was chosen as it not only is a special level not included in the original Borderlands 2 game and thus contains additional data which should slow the load of this special map.border

CoD: Ghosts Load time

For the Call of Duty: Ghosts we timed the level load time for the map called Into the Deep in the single player game. This level was chosen as it contains a large map and loads a lot of data from the storage device to the GPU.cod

Saints Row 3 Load time

For Saints Row 3 (labelled ‘SR3’ in the chart) we have recorded the load time from a specific save game. The game was saved just at the end of the ‘Shaundi saved’ version of “Three Way Ending” but before the cut scene. This was chosen as the game not only loads the Three Way Ending data but also the next level “Gangsta’s in Space” DLC level.sr

This level of performance is exactly what PC enthusiasts are looking for in their next (reasonably priced) storage purchase. The very fact you can get over 1TB for $260 and 2.1GB for only $520 is simply icing on the cake.
