The demanding SPEC test puts a workstation angle on storage proceedings, and WD Black AN1500 does well. Putting the result into a wider context, you wouldn't want to run critical operations on a RAID0 drive as the chance of data failure is twice as high.
We mentioned that WD disables power management technology for the best possible performance, leading to idle temps of 52°C, though it doesn't escalate much further under load, reiterating the quality of the heatsink.
