PCMark 8’s Consistency test provides a huge amount of performance data, so here we’ve looked a little closer at how the Crucial P1 performs in each of the benchmarks test suites.

Adobe Creative Cloud

The bandwidth figures for all the test traces in the Adobe Creative CC test run are very low with the accompanying high latency figures. However, the drive's recovery is very good although somewhat erratic in the two Photoshop traces.

Microsoft Office

As is usual with the Office part of the test, it's the MS Word trace that gets hit hardest during the test run. But as with the other two MS Office traces, Excel and PowerPoint, the recovery for the Word trace is extremely good and consistent.

Casual Gaming

The P1's bandwidth performance during the two casual gaming tests was very erratic. The recovery of the drive for the Battlefield 3 trace was very good indeed, but the recovery of the World of Warcraft trace less so.
