With how large this drive is, it’s important to reiterate the importance of proper data-storage practices. While neither quite reached the quoted 1,000MB/s read and 900MB/s write speed, the drive managed to surpass the read and write speeds that I need for video editing.

It’s common for the advertised speed of hard drives and SSDs to differ from actual real-world speeds, due to a number of factors, so I ran the Black Magic Disk Speed test and AmorphousDiskMark.
