HDD Performance Crystal DiskMark

CrystalDiskMark is a disk benchmark utility that measures performance for sequential and random reads/writes of various sizes for any storage device. It is useful for comparing the speed of both portable and local storage devices. CrystalDiskMark can measure sequential reads/writes speed, measure random 512 KB, 4 KB, 4 KB (Queue Depth = 32) reads/writes speed, has support for different types of test data (Random, 0 Fill, 1 Fill), includes basic theme support and has multilingual support. Give it a try yourself as it is free to download.

The SSDs show some very decent results back at us. Just compare read/write performance of the other drives shown. Today's tested HDD below, some comparative materials just for reference.

Again sequential performance for a HDD like the 8 TB Archive from Seagate will be fine, it's just small files where it'll choke. But if your plan is to store say movies... hey, perfect.
