HD Tune v4.01

HD Tune Pro 4.01 is an extended version of HD Tune which includes many new features such as write benchmark, secure erasing, AAM setting, folder usage view, disk monitor, command line parameters and file benchmark.

HD Tune File Benchmark

HD Tune File Benchmark

Benchmark Results: The OCZ Vertex LE 100GB SSD had an average read speed was found to be 232MB/s with an average write speed of 205MB/s.  The read test had an access time of 0.0ms, while the write test was 0.1ms.

HD Tune Benchmark Results

Comparison Chart: When comparing the OCZ Vertex LE 100GB SSD with the SandForce 1500 controller to the other drives we were shocked to see that it had the highest average write speed and the highest burst rate of any of the drives tested. The Crucial RealSSD C300 once again dominated the group when it came to read performance. The old OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD with firmware v1.5 did very well in this test as you can see it wasn't too far behind in the tests! 

64MB File Test

HD Tune File Benchmark

Benchmark Results: Running the built-in file benchmark test in HD Tune 4.01 showed once again just how the drive performs with various file sizes. This test shows the OCZ Vertex 2 Pro SSD topping out at nearly 285MB/sec in the read test and 225MB/sec in the write test. These are the highest numbers that we have ever seen in the file benchmark test and are once again nearly identical to what we saw on the Vertex 2 Pro.
