SSD Performance SiSoft Sandra HDD - Anvil's Storage Utilities

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.

You guys will agree with me that even a Western Digital Velociraptor is a fast HDD at 87 MB/sec. Here the Pyro SE did 313 MB/sec, we had hoped for slightly better results here though.

Anvil's Storage Utilities

Anvil's Storage Utilities is a powerful tool that was designed in order to provide you with a simple means to evaluate the read and write performance of your Solid State Drive or Hard Disk Drive.

The benchmark tool helps you monitor and check the response time of your unit as well as view the system information collected using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

You can download this software here and try it out for yourself.

New in our benchmark suite is Anvil's Storage Utilities, this tool is work in progress and could be one of the best SSD stress tools in the works.

For now we'll included the overall test results, and once this software finalizes we'll do more with it. Again you can see great SEQ Read performance, excellent 4K performance but again sequential writes are a little stale.
