HDTach 3.0.4.0
HD Tach will test the sequential read, random access and interface burst speeds of your attached storage device (hard drive, flash drive, removable drive, etc). All drive technologies such as SCSI, IDE/ATA, 1394, USB, SATA and RAID are supported. Test results from HD Tach can be used to confirm manufacturer specs, analyze your system for proper performance, and compare your performance with others. HD Tach is very easy to use, quick, and presents data in easy to read graphs, including the ability to compare two storage devices on screen at the same time for easy analysis.
Bursts are provided only for your review. SSD's don't cache the same way HDD's do (in many cases they don't cache reads at all), so burst testing typically results in figures that are lower than the sequential throughput figures.
HDTach feeds the tested drive a continuous string of small sequential read requests. This is a single threaded operation, which means the SSD doesn't get to see what's coming next. SandForce has always shown a bit of a weakness on this type of sequential workload, and again the 335 falls a bit short of the 520.

Do any of the new wave consumer oriented drives have any power failure protection like super caps to commit writes on power loss?
Intel is putting the solid
Intel is putting the solid state caps in their enterprise products, not their consumer products.
Great, thanks Allyn I am
Great, thanks Allyn I am really interested in having 2 of these raid0 on a gamming pc. I wonder, is there a place where i can find the yapt benchmark, i am interested in running all this benchmarks on my box, see how it compares with the results here. Also the pc per file test is propierary? do you sell that one?
YAPT is one of our toys, but
YAPT is one of our toys, but PCPer file copy can easily be replicated with a batch file copy.
From what I’ve seen is that
From what I’ve seen is that the Corsair Neutron GTX is the main drive to beat in RAID-0 paired with a z77 board and 11.6 drivers option rom so it can handle TRIM.
Now that Hynix bought Link-a-Media and Samsung is making their own drives too, I’d like Intel or Micron making the chipset and flash rather than Sandforce or Marvel so that firmware and reliability going forward stays at the top.
Personally I grabbed a 256GB Samsung 830 on sale because of how it handles GC versus the Intel drives and was cheaper and something about sandforce compressing the data and swapping from performance to reliability modes once they get kind of full didn’t sit right with me.
Now we just need pci-e based solutions to become viable boot drives for cheap so raid controllers and SATA stop being a bottle neck .
Tell us where we can get this
Tell us where we can get this at your review price seen here: 240G @ $184 ($0.76 / GB)
That’s the problem with MSRP,
That's the problem with MSRP, it is only a suggestion. It is just over $300 on NewEgg and you probably won't see sales in the very near future but sooner or later I am sure there will be discounts.
Must’ve been a mistake or
Must’ve been a mistake or something, I see it on Newegg for $209 at the moment…
Ya, that should’ve been a 2
Ya, that should've been a 2 not a 3.

Amazing! This blog looks just
Amazing! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has
pretty much the same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!
