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. The drive index test is what I refer to. Higher = Better.
Run 1 shows the HDD performance and then once the data is cached we see read performance whopping and topping it off towards 686 MB/sec.
Sandra also needs an unformatted partition to be able to measure write performance, hence the lacking result for that one as well as we can not cache an unformatted partition.
