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.

READ Performance Testing:

WRITE Performance Testing:

SiSoftware Sandra 2010 File Benchmark

Benchmark Results: The Vertex LE did great in Sandra 2010 and was found to have an average read score of 262MB/s with a write score of 206MB/s. The read and write access times also looked good, but how do they compare against the popular SSDs?

Sandra Benchmark Results

Comparison Chart: It turns out that the Vertex LE 100GB SSD did great in Sandra and was the second fastest drive that we have benchmarked on this new test system. The Intel random access times are insane, but the OCZ Vertex LE was second to only that drive!
