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 mainly drives from Seagate and even Western Digital themselves, the 7,200RPM Western Digital Red 8TB performed pretty well. For a drive of this caliber, these results were very good, where it traded blows with the WD60EFRX repeatedly. It won almost every read test other than the first one against its smaller brother, but its fate reversed in the write section. Overall, the Seagate NAS HDD ST8000VN0002 8TB had a performance advantage. I will let you take a look at the results in our comparison graphs above.
