3D MARK STORAGE GAMING BENCHMARK
UL Solutions has created a new storage gaming benchmark that we will start to use as new SSDs come in. The 3DMark Storage Benchmark DLC extends 3DMark Advanced Edition with a dedicated component test for measuring the gaming performance of SSDs and other storage hardware. It supports all the latest storage technologies and tests practical, real-world gaming performance for activities such as loading games, saving progress, installing game files, and recording gameplay video streams.
The WD_Black SN850X 8TB SSD placed 12th in all SSDs tested in 3DMark to date.
REPORT ANALYSIS AND FINAL THOUGHTS
When you consider just how large 8TB of storage truly is, you might not think it is a feasible need for just about anyone, but in today’s digital world that’s just not the case. It is a dream come true for media professionals such as myself who deal in high resolution photos and video where a ‘small’ project might returns with well over 10000-15000 RAW images alone, each picture being somewhere in the area of 64MB. And then there are those who cherish their massive collections of video, music and photo’s. The WD_Black SN850x 8TB Gen 4 SSD is the perfect solution to exactly where to put it all.
The SN850x 8TB SSD comes in at 7GB/s read and 6700MB/s write with a high of 1.3 million IOPS but these testing highs don’t show what this SSD is truly capable of. Simply look at the amazing game load time results of our Final Fantasy software benchmark, our true data testing or even the Passmark Diskmark result placing this SSD in the top 99% of all SSDs tested worldwide by this software. That’s not all though.
The SN850x 8TB appears to be the lowest price for an 8TB SSD on the planet ($200 below the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus) and comes with a 5-year limited warranty. The WD_Black SN850x is truly the biggest and baddest on the block. Editor’s Choice!
