Crystal Disk Mark 7.0 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. Since this is a new version, I only retested the Seagate IronWolf Pro ST14000NE0008 14TB for comparison. As you can see in our charts above, the 7,200RPM Red WD140EFFX 14TB delivered interesting results against other drives of the same capacity, given its lower speed rating. In the beginning, it got dominated in the SEQ1M Q8T1 and SEQ1M Q1T1 tests. It was not surprisingly lost to the 7,200RPM Red Pro variant and IronWolf Pro 14TB in this area. However, I could not explain why the WD Red 14TB was so good in the RND4K Q32T16 and RND4K Q32T16 write tests, and it even held its own in the corresponding read tests. Generally speaking, the Western Digital Red WD140EFFX 14TB was surprisingly competitive in the posted results. I will let you take a look at the results in our comparison graphs above.
