Simpli Software's HD Tach is described on the company's web site as such: "HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access read/write storage devices such as hard drives, removable drives, flash devices, and RAID arrays. HD Tach uses custom device drivers and other low level Windows interfaces to bypass as many layers of software as possible and get as close to the physical performance of the device being tested."

The Intel SSD 510 Series drive put up excellent numbers in the HD Tach benchmark, besting all of the previous-generation drives by a fair margin. But the upcoming SF-2000 based OCZ Vertex 3 was ultimately the best performer in every category according to HD Tach.
