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.
We saw more strong numbers from the Samsung SSD 850 EVO drives in the HD Tune benchmark. The Samsung drives led that pack with high transfer rates in the sequential transfer tests and low access times.
