Kingston UV500 240GB (M.2) Review (Page 7 of 11)

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 just took a screenshot of the program. Other than the big spike in the middle, the UV500 remained fairly flat on average. It differed slightly in magnitude than HD Tach -- probably due to testing algorithms used -- but its performance characteristics were identical in practice. Other than that, the results were commendable across the range; the recorded access time was very low, as we would expect from a solid state drive. The Kingston UV500 240GB posted an average of 333.4MB/s for its sequential read speed. Do keep in mind the discussion we had on the previous page, as it still applies here.
