Synthetic Benchmark Suites:
PCMark Vantage:

In this benchmark, several real world scenarios are synthetically reproduced in an attempt to give a good representation on how a drive would perform versus raw benchmarks. Unfortunately, the WD5000LPVT didn’t fend well against the Intel SSD here. There wasn’t a single category where the WD5000LPVT was even close, which was a little disappointing…but that was the expectation going in.
PCMark 7:

This benchmark suite is similar to PCMark Vantage in regards to its synthetic tests; however that’s where the similarities end as we see the WD5000LPVT put up a much better fight. This is especially true with the video editing test, which would play into the sequential strength seen earlier with Crystal Disk Mark.
