Test System(s):

Benchmarks:

• HD Tune
• AIDA64 Disk Benchmark
• Crystal mark
• File Transfer

HD Tune is a benchmark used to calculate Transfer times, Access times, Burst Rate and CPU Usage of a hard drive. You can download HD Tune at www.hdtune.com. There are two versions of HD Tune, a pro and a free version. For the sake of this review, we have used the free version. (Pro Version does benchmark write speeds).

FinalWire's AIDA64 is a diagnostic and benchmarking tool. AIDA64 will be used for its Disk Benchmark tool with the test conducted using the Read Test Suite.

Crystal Mark is a disk benchmark software that features:

• Sequential reads/writes
• Random 4KB/512KB reads/writes
• Text copy
• Change dialog design
• internationalization (i18n)

Download Crystal Mark

The 1 and 5 Gigabyte files are placed on the desktop then sent to the SSD/HDD. This allows the SSD/HDD to both read the file before transfer then write it to the SSD/HDD. Times are calculated in Seconds for the 1 Gigabyte file and Minutes and Seconds for the 5 Gigabyte file.
