OCZ Throttle 32GB eSATA Flash Drive Review

HD Tune Pro 3.50

HD Tune Pro v3.50

HD Tune Pro 3.50 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.

Benchmark Results: The average transfer rate was 80.8MB/Sec with a burst rate of 124MB/Sec. The access time was just 0.1ms and the CPU usage was 1.4%.

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.
