EFD Software's HD Tune is described on the company's website as such:
"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." The latest version of the benchmark added temperature statistics and improved support for SSDs, among a few other updates and fixes.
The
ADATA XPG SX8200 480GB drive we tested offered middling performance in HD Tune. Read latency looks good, but the rest of the numbers are uninspiring overall.
