SSD Performance SiSoft Sandra HDD - Anvil's Storage Utilities

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.

You guys will agree with me that even a Western Digital Velociraptor is a fast HDD at 87 MB/sec. Here the SSD did 445MB/sec, we had hoped for slightly better results here.
