SSD Performance HD Tune PRO

HD Tune Pro

HD Tune Pro is a hard disk utility and benchmarking utility for Windows. This tiny application allows you to scan your hard drives in search for errors or take a deeper look at several performance figured coming from the storage unit.

HDTune then - here we measure linear read performance of the SSD and as you can see we average out at roughly 189 MB/sec, and that is just really top notch performance with this test. Your Average HDD would do 45-65 MB/sec here, with a WD VelociRaptor topping is off just over 100~120 MB/sec.

Linear Write performance is averaging out at roughly 157MB/sec, and again over USB 3.0 that is just really good.

The latest edition of HD Tune Pro allows random access read and write testing, a feature not available in other software tools. And this is certainly interesting to observe. Over 30 MB/sec on 4 KB files is just great for this particular test application.

Overall very good write IOPS performance. We get ~30MB/sec on 4KB files returned. The HDTune results as such should not considered to be objective until either a software update fixes some issues, or perhaps on the SSD side a firmware upgrade solves it.
