One specifically demanding task is when the system is handling packages, so that is one of the tests we perform.  This value can vary more than ten times between devices that are marketed to the same sustained write speed! This usage is different from what is normal use if such devices, and they may differ vastly in performance despite being marketed to similar speeds.  The reason is that an operating system frequently reads and writes many small chunks, which is very different from storing pictures, videos or other large files.
