SiSoftware Sandra 2010

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. Sandra provides most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. In order to test the hard drive, SiSoftware Sandra 2010c was used as part of the test suite. The graphical results that Sandra gives you after the test is completed nicely shows how drives perform over time and where on the drive the performance is seen.

WRITE Performance Testing:

Benchmark Results: The Vertex 2 Pro did great in Sandra 2010 and was found to have an average read score of 249MB/s with a write score of 203MB/s. The read and write access times also looked good, but how do they compare against the popular Intel SSDs?

Sandra Benchmark Results

Comparison Chart: It turns out that the Vertex 2 Pro drive fell short in the random access time tests compared to the Intel SSD. The impressive write speeds of the Vertex 2 Pro continue to amaze us though as they were twice as high as the Intel drive!
