Western Digital Black² Dual Drive Review
Chris Hadley / 11 years ago
Test Procedure
Test system:
- Asus Maximus V Formula
- Intel Core i7 3770k
- Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz 16GB
- Corsair H100i
- Corsair HX1050W
- Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD
- Asus VS247
We would like to thank AOC, Corsair, Kingston and Lian Li for supplying us with our test system components.
Many different software applications are also used to gain the broadest spectrum of results, which allows for the fairest testing possible.
Software used:
- AS SSD – Compression Benchmark
- ATTO
- CrystalDiskMark
- Anvil’s Storage Utilities RC6
- IOMeter
With the Black² I’m going to run all of our benchmark tests twice to see how both the solid state and mechanical portions of the drive perform in their own rights.
