About HD Tach 3.0.1.0
HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access read/write storage devices such as hard drives, removable drives (ZIP/JAZZ), flash devices, and RAID arrays. HD Tach uses custom device drivers and other low level Windows interfaces to bypass as many layers of software as possible and get as close to the physical performance of the device possible.

HD Tach is what we would call a "drag-race" approach to evaluating performance. While this may not necessarily be reflective of day-to-day usage, this test still provides insightful results for comparing against other drives. Taking a look at the Kingston HyperX Fury 64GB results, we can see the line trends flat, despite the many blips. Speeds vary around 145MB/s to 200MB/s, but the average read speed comes to 177MB/s. This result is once again pretty awesome in comparison to our other USB 3.0 drives. The burst speed comes out to 166.4MB/s, and the average latency is around 1.0ms.
