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 64MB of data comprising out of sizes ranging from 0.5 KB to 8 MB. Check it out. As you can see once we pass 32KB file size, the drive kicks in hard, already pushing 300 MB/sec. Maximum peak writes passing 500 MB/sec write while touching 525 MB read peaks.

In HDTune above we average out roughly 378MB/sec on reads making the Corsair Force GS the fastest SSD tested to date.s

And that didn't change for write performance, once we start to measure write performance we see that figures reach a continued write performance, averaging out at an average of 382 MB/sec.

And that's with peaks to ~410 MB/sec.

HD Tune Pro allows random access read and write testing, a feature not available in other software tools. Check out the 1MB READ performance topping 500 MB/sec.

Overall great write IOPS performance as well. We get 441 MB/sec on the 1MB files. So in theory each second this drive can write say 441 JPEG files with a size of 1 MB, per second.
