Benchmark Read / Write Speed And 4K-64 Thread Of SSD Drive

Contrasting to conventional hard disk drives, SSDs (Solid State Drives) demand a whole different set of tools to check the health status and read and write capability. This is primarily because SSD storing mechanism differs from other storage mediums, as data is saved on microchips and not on magnetic disks. Since data read/write operations are not based on spinning of disk platters, you need a dedicated read/write benchmark tool to test and evaluate the overall data read and write speed of your Solid State Drive. AS SSD Benchmark is such an application which puts SSD drive through both read and write speed tests. It presents 4 types of tests which can be conducted either in one go or you can choose against which parameter to evaluate read/write disk speed. It can perform read and write operation sequentially, read and write 4K size block, check 4k-64 Thread reading and writing speed, while an option to count Acc.time is also provided. Read More

SSDlife is a free health diagnostic utility that is developed for SSDs - Microchips-based Solid State Drives. SSDs are commonly distinguished by the mechanism of storing data from other HDDs (which depends upon the spinning of disk to perform read/write operations). As data is stored on micro-chips, SSDs are considered more faster and stable than other conventional disks, thus demands separate tools to thoroughly inspect its different elements. SSDlife is one such dedicated tool which lets you view complete information about the SSD disks, shows all the technical details, checks SSD health status while an option for reporting the detailed health-related information online to get feedbacks is also provided.

If you’re using the very same hard drive which you’ve bought some 5 years ago, you might be on the verge of encountering a serious hard disk crash (we are not saying that it will crash, but old hard disks have high probability of crashing). Even though the hard drive monitoring tools are abundant and have multiple options & features to go around with. CheckDrive comes in straight to address this very problem, as name implies, it is a dedicated tool for analyzing, fixing and generating a complete hard disk report. It is especially built for detecting & fixing hard drive crashes and for checking disk health after an improper shutdown. Read More
