To test real life performance of a drive we use a mix of folder/file types and by using the FastCopy utility (which gives a time as well as MB/s result) we record the performance of drive reading from & writing to a 256GB Samsung SSD850 PRO.

We use the following folder/file types:

• 100GB data file.
• 60GB iso image.
• 60GB Steam folder – 29,521 files.
• 50GB File folder – 28,523 files.
• 12GB Movie folder – 24 files (mix of Blu-ray and 4K files).
• 10GB Photo folder – 621 files (mix of png, raw and jpeg images).
• 10GB Audio folder – 1,483 files (mix of mp3 and .flac files).
• 5GB (1.5bn pixel) photo.

The Viper VPN100 handled our real life file transfers without any problems at all.

We also tested the transfer speeds of the same files but moving them to and from another NVMe drive, in this case a 512GB Toshiba OCZ RD400.

The drive handles large file sizes much more efficiently than the smaller bity files found in the 60GB Steam, 50GB file and 10GB Audio folders.
