WD Black D30 Game Drive SSD 1TB Review

CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V7.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

Using the ATTO benchmark, the best Sequential read/write figures we saw were 891MB/s and 805MB/s respectively. With the more demanding AS SSD benchmark, the read figure dropped to 852MB/s with writes at 787MB/s. However, we could confirm the 900MB/s official figure for reads at least using CrystalDiskMark 7 with a best test result of 934MB/s with writes falling just short at 839MB/s.
