Benchmarks: Real-World Applications

Current-gen SSDs have hit a brick wall in our virus scan test as we can't seem to get a time better than 43 seconds. The Evo 1TB matched our fastest time at 43 seconds while the 250GB model took 44 seconds until we enabled RAPID.

The Evo took 99 seconds to complete the game installation – not bad, though the 1TB model was a couple seconds faster. Enabling RAPID shaved just one second off the time for both models.
