EFD Software's HD Tune is described on the company's web site 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.
As has been the case thus far, the Corsair Force GT once again exhibited best-of-class performance across the board. The Crucial M4 also showed a marked improvement in write performance in this benchmark with its latest firmware, but write access times took a bit of a hit.
