HD Tune

HD Tune isn’t a reliable tool for getting exact R/W values in SSD drives, as it has a tendency to show higher or lower than actual values, but does give you a general performance framework. Vertex 2 scored an average read of 219.2 MB/s and average write speed of 211.7 MB/s.

 

Random Access test confirms Vertex 2 drive’s speed with 4KB files, where we see speeds of over 30MB/s.

HD Tune Pro’s File benchmark reports read speeds of almost 270 MB/s, whereas write speeds are about 240 MB/s. At the same time, these were the highest values we recorded during HD Tune Pro testing.
