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.
Anvil's Storage Utilities

The benchmark tool helps you monitor and check the response time of your unit as well as view the system information collected using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
