Intel 510 Series 250GB SATA 6G Solid State Drive Review

HDTune v4.01 (*Updated*)

---

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 and access times.  CPU utilization has proven negligible with modern processing horsepower, and is no longer included.

Bursts were ‘odd’ here, just like in HDTach.

The 510 did well under HDTune sequential reads, but was not able to surpass the Vertex 3’s.
