WinRAR Compression

This test measures the time it takes WinRAR to uncompress the Linux Kernel tar.gz archive to the tested drive.

Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning

As AI grows in importance, so will the models, which means efficient disk I/O is needed for quick reaction time. Before any AI model can be used, its models have to be loaded from disk into main memory. In this test we're loading a 300 MB pretrained model to perform ImageNet classification. The time reported is the time it takes for Python to start and load the model, before the first inference is completed.

MP3 Indexing

We're running Winamp to import 5000 songs into the media library by reading the ID3 tag.
