Is this an SSD-equipped system?

I'm connected to the system remotely, so I have no way to physically check:

 

Yeah, SSD. Albeit a bad example of one.

 

Looks like it's either a SSD bottlenecked by SATA II speeds, or just a lower end SSD since it has that 110MB/s write speeds.

 

Looks like SATA II SSD to me...

 

It may be, but it looks more like a beefed up eMMC to me.

 

Since you have write access to the disk; install (copy/unzip) HWiNFO portable and make certain. Unless it's a virtual machine, that is ... ?

 

Can you look at the disk drives in Device Manager?

 

FYI:



These are values from a 1.5y old Samsung 840 Pro, that's not optimized and also doesn't cheat with rapid mode or anything.



And this is a pathetic Seagate Momentus harddrive, like Alienware sold them in their Laptops a year ago, so it has 7200 rounds per minute.

As you see, the SSD is in a completely different league, 1. to your linked SSD, but you also see, that 2. even a harddrive that is supposed to be fast is many times slower.

The values are slightly lower in Win 10 than in 7, and as said, they're completely non-optimized and also don't cheat in the benchmark (like with rapid mode i. e. ) .

I btw. don't know, if the pathetic 4k values of the Momentus are a sign of something not working properly. I get a new harddrive tomorrow though, then I'll bench again and see further.

 

It's a VM - hence, other than the CPU (which itself is only accurate to the degree of an entire generation/family of processors due to the CPU masking used for live migration) and RAM (capacity only, speed and timings are again uncertain) it's hard to tell what hardware is running behind the scenes. Analytical estimation is the best that can be done...

 

Some kind of flash storage, maybe it is just a usb sick.
