Benchmark Results: The write test in HT Tune Pro 3.50 showed that the average transfer rate under write conditions was 32.6MB/Sec with a burst rate of 123.7MB/Sec.  The access time was just 0.2ms and the CPU usage was 0.6%. This is more of the write performance that I expected from the OCZ Throttle.

Benchmark Results: HD Tune Pro 3.50 just came out a few weeks ago and has added a brand new Random Acces test. The random access read test showed great performance and that the OCZ Throttle loves 1MB transfer file sizes as the average speed was 91.176MB/Sec.

Benchmark Results: The random access write test showed really slow speeds and long access times. This isn't ideal, but since the OCZ Throttle is not being used as a hard drive it doesn't really matter.
