We also tested the time it took to import and export a mix of files from/to the SL500 into various programs.

The programmes we used were:
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Adobe Photoshop
VideoPad
Audacity

We also timed moving a Win 10 backup file to and from the drive and launching a game from the XXX.

The SL500 shows strong performance for the load / save tests. It takes just 3 minutes to copy the Windows 10 backup (100GB) to the drive while exporting a 2.6GB 4K video from the app to the drive took 152 seconds.
