WD Black P50 Game Drive SSD 1TB Review

Simon Crisp March 22, 2021 Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews, SSD Drives, Tech News

In our read throughput test, the WD Black P50 Game Drive peaked at 1,876.83MB/s at the 16MB block mark. Although this figure was shy of the official 2,000MB/s, it does make it the fastest non Thunderbolt drive we have seen to date.


As for write throughput performance, the drive peaked at the 8MB block mark at 1,803.91MB/s, again short of the official maximum but the second fastest non Thunderbolt drive we have seen when it comes to write throughput.


The speed advantage of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 x2 interface can be clearly seen when the drive is connected to the previous incarnation of the USB 3.2 specification.
