WD Red Pro 22TB HDD Review

To test the real-life performance of a drive we use a mix of folder/file types and by using the FastCopy utility (which gives a time as well as MB/s result) we record the performance of drive reading from & writing to a 256GB Samsung SSD850 PRO.

The 22TB WD Red Pro produced very consistent performance in our Real Life file transfer tests when it came to handling the larger file sizes with an average write figure for the seven large file transfers of 245.28MB/s. The fastest write performance was the 5GB image at 277MB/s while the fastest read speed came from the AutoCAD File Folder transfer at 278MB/s. The slowest of the file transfers was the 50GB File Folder, full of small bity files, with writes at 165MB/s and reads at 134MB/s.
