3DMark Storage Benchmark

• OS:Windows 10, 64-bit with Fall Creators Update (version 1709)
  
• Processor:3 GHz quad-core*
  
• Memory:8 GB RAM
  
• Storage:150 MB to install, 30 GB free space to run**

* Modern storage hardware is so fast that its performance can be limited by the CPU. While this benchmark will run on slower processors with fewer cores, we recommend using a 3.0 GHz quad-core processor or better when testing ultra-fast storage.
** Test data is removed when the benchmark ends.
