Crystal Disk Mark 3.0 is in the spotlight. Crystal Disk Mark is an important benchmark, because it tests the input/output operations per second capability of the storage device. As you can see in our charts above, compared against a few select drives; namely, hard drives from HGST, Seagate, and Western Digital, along with a mainstream MX200 500GB SSD from Crucial, the 7,200RPM Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD V.5 ST8000NM0055 8TB was a real star. It was obviously no contest against the Crucial SSD, but neither is the SSD's capacity against this 8TB monster. For a drive of this caliber, these results were excellent, as it really shone against the near-enterprise grade Western Digital drives. Like all HDDs in the presence of an SSD, it was blown away in the 4K and 4K QD32 results. That said, the ST8000NM0055 posted class leading results in these areas compared to other mechanical disks; often by a significant margin, especially in the 4K and 4K QD32 write results. Generally speaking, the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD V.5 took the performance crown in almost every test. I will let you take a look at the results in our comparison graphs above.
