Benchmarks: File Copy Test

The Arc 100 240GB averaged 242MB/s when copying our single large file, putting it on par with OCZ's Vertex 460 and Vector 150 drives, but 18% behind the Crucial MX100.

When testing with our program data, OCZ's newcomer provided a bandwidth of 194MB/s, which was again comparable to the Vector 150, and while the Arc 100 was much faster than the Vertex 460, it was still 13% slower than the MX100.

The game copy results saw the Arc 100 240GB sustain 267MB/s, placing it on par with the SanDisk Extreme II 240GB – faster than both the Vector 150 and Vertex 460 drives – yet still 18% slower than the MX100 512GB.
