SSD vs HDD Benchmarks: HD Tune Pro 4.01

HD Tune
Pro is an extended version of HD Tune which includes many new features such as:
write benchmark, secure erasing, AAM setting, folder usage view, disk monitor,
command line parameters and file benchmark. The benchmark measures raw
performance in a couple different ways to measure a hard drive for Read and
Write tests, which are conducted separately. To read the results below consider
that highest minimum/maximum/average transfer rates are better, while lower
(quicker) access times are best. Lastly, highest burst rates are better.
The SanDisk Extreme 240GB SSD achieves an excellent
Read transfer rate of 381 MB/s and thanks to the nature of its NAND flash memory
it can achieve incredibly low access times of 0.059ms. In the results chart below we get a better
sense of how the SanDisk SSD directly compares to OCZ's Vertex 3 (the SD
is slightly quicker) and a half dozen hard drives.

In the HD
Tune write test, the SanDisk Extreme 240GB SSD has a
very low access time of 0.109ms and average write transfer rate of 350.8MB/s,
excellent compared to the OCZ Vertex 3 SSD at 312MB/s. The SanDisk Extreme SSD
blows the other SSDs out of the water, and indeed every HDD
as you'd expect.
