SanDisk Extreme II 240GB Review (Page 7 of 10)

About HD Tune Pro 4.60

HD Tune is a hard disk utility with many functions. It can be used to measure the drive's performance, scan for errors, check the health status (S.M.A.R.T.), securely erase all data and much more.

Unfortunately, HD Tune does not generate any fancy independent graph outputs in particular, so I had to edit my screenshot out a bit to make it look better for publishing in a review. Again, like our HD Tach results on the previous page, the line is nice and flat as before. It differs slightly in magnitude than the other program -- probably due to testing algorithms used -- but its performance characteristics are identical in practice. Other than that, the results are very commendable across the range; and the recorded access time is virtually nil. It is interesting to point out all three programs that keeps track of access time -- AIDA64, HD Tach, and HD Tune -- all posted slightly different results, but still very low nonetheless. The SanDisk Extreme II 240GB posted impressive results; although slightly lower than that of HD Tach. That said, do keep in mind the discussion we had on the previous page, as it still applies here.
