WD Blue SN500 500GB SSD Review

Just like the Consistency test, PCMark 8’s Standard Storage test also saves a large amount of performance data. The default test runs through the test suite of 10 applications three times. Here we show the total bandwidth performance for each of the individual test suites for the third and final benchmark run.

The drive handles the PCMark 8 Standard Storage test pretty well, with the two Photoshop tests producing over 1GB bandwidth each.

Even though it only uses an x2 PCIe interface, the drive produces 475MB of total bandwidth for the PCMark8 Standard Storage Test.
