PCMark 8’s Consistency test provides a huge amount of performance data, so here we’ve looked a little closer at how the Lexar NM600 performs in each of the benchmarks test suites.

Adobe Creative Cloud

The drive suffered during the Adobe CC suite of tests particularly during the two Photoshop runs. But the recovery from the ordeal was very good, if a little erratic in the case of the Photoshop Light test runs.

Microsoft Office

The drive didn't handle the MS Office test traces to well either with huge drops in bandwidth in the fifth Degradation and second SteadyState phases for all three traces. However, once again the recovery is good but erratic.

Casual Gaming

It was a bumpy ride for the drive in the pair of Casual Gaming tests as well, but once again the drive recovered well.
