HD Tune File Benchmark

HD Tune File Benchmark

Benchmark Results: The Kingston SSDNow V+ Series 128GB drive does better in HD Tune Pro 3.50 in both the read test and the write test.  The spikes in the write benchmark look strange, but the average is 166.7MB/s, which is just shy of the drive's 180MB/s rating. The average read speed was found to be 200.5MB/s.  The read test had an access time of 0.1ms, while the write test was 0.5ms.
