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 at 153MB/sec and then once the data is cached we see read performance whopping and topping it off towards 453 MB/sec, weirdly enough above the actual SSD performance (albeit slightly).
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.
