System Setup and Testing Methods
As our second real storage review on PC Perspective, we spend a lot of time going over our storage test bed and our testing applications in order to showcase storage performance and limits in an easy to read manor.
You’ll see some of the more popular testing applications including HDTach and IOMeter and also HDTune v2.51, PCMark05 and YAPT (yet another performance test) v0.3. I also wrote a custom file-copy test for future reviews as well but because of the drive size limits of the iRAM we couldn’t run all the tests.
