HD Tach Performance

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 OCZ Vertex 3 Pro put up another excellent showing in the HD Tach benchmark. In terms of both sequential reads and writes, and burst rate, the upcoming Vertex 3 Pro outpaced all of the other drives we tested, and by a wide margin with respect to write transfers.
