HD Tune v4.60 - Random Access
The random access read and write test is a very important performance area to look at on solid state drives and hard drives as some controllers have problems with random writes. In recent years the controllers have improved and the firmware has been better optimized for random read and write performance.
Random Access Read Test Results:
Benchmark Results: When it comes to the random access read performance test the Western Digital Scorpio Black 500GB does on par with what we would expect for a hard drivfe. For example, this drive scored 164 IOPS in the 4KB test file size.
Random Access Write Test Results:
Benchmark Results: The write performance test results of the Western Digital Scorpio Black 500GB were better than the read tests as we are seeing 291 IOPS at an average speed of 1.139 MB/s.
