About HD Tune Pro 5.70

HD Tune Pro is a hard disk / SSD 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. The Netac US9 512GB's throughput remained very flat on average. While HD Tune is more of a drag race than a clear indication of real-life performance, it is an excellent storage performance reference among SSDs with the same controller. The results were good across the range and the recorded access time was low, as we would expect from a solid state drive.

The US9 512GB posted an average of 467.7MB/s for its sequential read speed. The Supersonic Rage Prime 1TB came in at 545.6MB/s. This is close to USB SSD level. USB 3.2 Gen 2 SSDs include the Crucial X9 Pro 2TB at 589.7MB/s, ADATA Elite SE880 1TB at 608.5MB/s, and Kingston XS1000 2TB at 609.4MB/s. For reference, the company's own ZX20L 512GB USB Gen 2x2 SSD posted an average of 430.3MB/s. No USB flash drive even comes close. At the end of the day, HD Tune may not be the best test for solid state drives all the time, but these results are always interesting to look at.
