AIDA64
AIDA64 is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users. It provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring.
It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives and is compatible with most Microsoft Windows operating systems. It also has a disk benchmark tool, and that is the one we’ll be using.
Read and Write Tests
The Linear Read and Write tests measure the sequential performance by reading or writing all sectors without skipping any while the Random Read and Write tests measure the random performance by reading or writing variable sized data blocks on random locations on the surface of the drive. The Random tests are actually combined tests of both speed and access times as it moves the position before each new operation.
Average Access Times
The Access time tests are designed to measure the data access performance by reading or writing small 0.5KB data blocks on random locations to the drive surface.
With access times around 0.10ms most of the times and speeds up to 427MB/s, the Silverstone MS06 doesn’t need to hide behind anything.
