SSD Performance SiSoft Sandra HDD
SiSoft Sandra HD test
Let's do a synthetic test with Sandra, just to see if we can match the results we've seen in HD Tach.
What SANDRA also does (important for an HDD) is to test at several positions of the HD. See, at the outer part of a platter the performance is slower. The drive index test is what I refer to. The higher the better. The fastest drive we ever laid our hands on was 249 MB/sec in this test, the SSD manages to squeeze 266 MB/sec out of the drive. Again a new record.
The WD Velociraptor is fast at 99 MB/sec and then the SSD shows performance up to 219 MB/sec speeds.
