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.

Above Corsair Neutron

Above Corsair Neutron GTX

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 at roughly 363MB/sec on reads with the GTX model with the regular one reaching 340 MB/sec.

Write performance on the GTx is really good, once we start to measure write performance we see that figures reach a continued write performance, averaging out at an average of 377 MB/sec. The regular Neutron pushes 326 MB/sec here, which is still very VERY fast.

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

Overall great write IOPS performance as well. We get 420MB/sec on the 1MB files for the GTX . So in theory each second that drive can write 420 JPEG files with a size of 1 MB, per second.
