SSD Performance HD Tune PRO

HD Tune Pro 4.5

HD Tune Pro is a hard disk utility and benchmarking utility for Windows. This tiny application allows you to scan your hard drives for errors or take a deeper look at several performance figures coming from the storage unit.

First off, a file test. We fire off 64 MB of data comprising out of sizes ranging from 0.5 KB to 8 MB. Check it out. As you can see once we pass 32 KB file size, the drive kicks in hard, pushing almost 300~400 MB/sec. Maximum peak writes are nearing 700 MB/sec write while touching 550 MB/sec read peaks.

In HDTune above we average out at only 554 MB/sec on sequential reads. Yummie !

Write performance above then, once we start to measure write performance we see that figures reach a continued write performance, averaging out at an average of 432 MB/sec. That again is excellent.

HD Tune Pro allows random access read and write testing, a feature not available in other software tools. Check out the 1 MB READ performance topping 772 MB/sec. And yeah, weird huh ? That is good.

Overall remarkable write IOPS performance as well. We get 549 MB/sec on the 1MB files. Although explained a little arbitrary, each second this drive can write say 549 JPEG files with a size of 1 MB, per second.
