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 reflects that of a standard hard drive as before, just like how it was supposed to be. It differs slightly in magnitude than the other program -- probably due to testing algorithms used -- but its performance characteristics were identical in practice. The average worked out to 88.2MB/s; with a peak of 114.7MB/s and minimum of 50.9MB/s. These figures were, once again, very close to the Silicon Power Armor A30 1TB and Silicon Power Diamond D06 1TB. The Silicon Power Armor A65 1TB's tested latency was also consistent with what we have seen in AIDA64 and HD Tach.
