HDTune 3.50

HDTune v3.50


HDTune tests a similar level of features that HDTach does, but with a slightly different access pattern and thus can provide us with an additional set of benchmark numbers to compare between storage configurations.  Here we can get the minimum, maximum and average transfer rates as well as the burst rates, access times and CPU utilizations.

HDTune gives us results similar to HDTach, and favors the RE4 a bit more for random access times.  This is possibly due to the added cache interfering with HDTune’s seek test algorithm.
