Since our storage review benchmark results are presented in alphabetical order, first up on the list are results from one of our favorite benchmarking programs, AIDA64 Engineer. Just to note, AIDA64 Engineer is a full synthetic benchmark. Unlike full synthetic motor oil, this usually does not always carry a good connotation. While it is not a representation of real life performance (Such as how fast you can copy movies to your drive), it does provide valuable insight into performance variation between drives from different manufacturers. As you can see in our graphs above, the latest 5,400RPM Western Digital Red delivered great performance in the linear read segment; a sizable increase compared to the 8TB model. It clocked in at 212.0MB/s in the beginning of the drive, 171.1MB/s in the middle, and finishing with 99.0MB/s in the end. That said, the 10TB WD Red also a comparable random access time to the 8TB model at 15.15ms. The 10TB WD Red was slightly slower than the Seagate IronWolf ST10000VN0004 10TB, but the IronWolf is a 7,200RPM drive.
