The PCMark 10 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 benchmark is designed to measure performance of fast system drives using the SATA bus at the low end and devices connected via PCI Express at the high end.
The goal of the benchmark is to show meaningful real-world performance differences between fast storage technologies such as SATA, NVMe, and Intel’s Optane. The Full System Drive Benchmark uses 23 traces, running 3 passes with each trace. It typically takes an hour to run.
Traces used:
Booting Windows 10.
Adobe Acrobat – starting the application until usable.
Adobe Illustrator – starting the application until usable Adobe Premiere Pro – starting the application until usable.
Adobe Photoshop – starting the application until usable.
Battlefield V – starting the game until the main menu.
Call of Duty Black Ops 4 – starting the game until the main menu.
Overwatch – starting the game until main menu.

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).
cps1Copying 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 drive averaged 342.16MB/s for the six Adobe startup traces, the fastest being 435MB/s for the Lightroom startup test trace, with the slowest being the Premiere Pro startup test at 254MB/s.
When tested with the Adobe usage traces the X570 PRO averaged 674.2MB/s for the five tests, which includes the 1,415MB/s result for the Adobe Photoshop heavy usage trace. The slowest of the five traces was the InDesign trace at 298MB/s
The drive averaged 988MB/s for the three gaming tests. The fastest was Battlefield V at 1,411MB/s, next up was Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 at 1,154MB/s and the slowest of the three was Overwatch at 461MB/s
In the file transfer tests the X570 PRO averaged 3,584MB/s for the six tests with the fastest being the Write Test (cp1) at 6,940MB/s.
With an overall bandwidth figure of 736MB/s, the X570 PRO sits in third from last position in the results table but there is only a 102MB/s gap between it and the heatsink version of the Crucial T705 which tops the table.
