Crucial X10 Pro 2TB External SSD

The PCMark 10 Data Drive Benchmark has been designed to test drives that are used for storing files rather than applications. You can also use this test with NAS drives, USB sticks, memory cards, and other external storage devices.
The Data Drive Benchmark uses 3 traces, running 3 passes with each trace.

Trace 1. Copying 339 JPEG files, 2.37 GB in total, in to the target drive (write test).
Trace 2. Making a copy of the JPEG files (read-write test).
Trace 3. Copying the JPEG files to another drive (read test)

Here we show the total bandwidth performance for each of the individual traces.

The Crucial X10 Pro does pretty well in PCMark 10 Data Drive Benchmark. It sits in the top 10 drives for all three parts of the benchmark run (Read-Write, Read and Write traces) with the Write test appearing to be the weakest of the three. Its overall bandwidth figure of 234MB/s is good enough to see the drive sit in third place on our results chart.
