WD Black D30 Game Drive SSD 1TB Review

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).

The WD Black D30 Game Drive handles the PCMark 10 Data Drive Benchmark very well with the best performance result of the three traces being the 288MB/s for the read-write test.

The performance of the WD Black D30 in all three traces is very strong when comparing it with its competitors we have reviewed.
