You're not seeing "pure" FS performance. You're seeing all of the abstractions between you and the file system.

To get more of the abstractions out of the way, you want DevDrive. And don't use Explorer.exe as a test bed which has shims and hooks and god knows what else.

I was testing the performance using plain C++ code.
