AS SSD
According to our AS SSD benchmark test, the WD Blue 1TB SSD gets a score of 1099 with 515.95MB/s sequential reads, 482.78MB/s sequential writes, 29.12MB/s 4K reads and 61.35MB/s 4K writes. At QD64, the 4K reads are 379.56MB/s and 4K writes at 286.03MB/s.
These results are interesting when put up against the OCZ Trion 150 480GB we reviewed earlier, which had a total score of 857. The drive outperformed the WD Blue in sequential read performance at 529.47MB/s and random 4K reads at 42.68MB/s, yet underperformed at 4K QD64 reads at 155.85MB/s.
