Testing (continued):

PCMark Vantage (64-Bit):

The Windows Defender portion of PCMark Vantage's HDD test shows the Seagate Momentus XT gaining over 20% over the course of five runs.



Application Loading is a portion of the test where the SSD makes the two other drives look silly, but focusing on just the Momentus XT results may tell you quite a bit. The point of the adaptive memory is for your system to learn what you do most often and be prepared for that by having that data on the 4GB SSD. Here we see that the performance of the Momentus XT improved by 167% in this test, and if real world applications could see something like that it would probably make everyone pretty happy.



The final set of results from PCMark Vantage are for Gaming. What I saw here was that the system put up its best scores in round two and three of testing and started to fade away on test four and five. So, the average is actually higher than the final run's results. On the bright side, it did dominate the traditional hard drive.
