Testing:

HD Tach v3.0.4.0: HD Tach is another hard drive benchmark utility, much like HD Tune. This benchmark measures the average read speed, random access time, and CPU utilization during operation.

• Quick Test 8MB Zones

SiSoft Sandra 2009 SP3: SiSoft Sandra is a diagnostic utility and synthetic benchmarking program. It allows you to view your hardware at a higher level to be more helpful.

• Physical Disks

In the HDTach testing the Vertex 4 falls to the lower end of the spectrum in both the burst speed and average read tests not quite matching what the original Everest controller was capable of. The Drive index testing in Sandra shows that the Vertex 4 has potential depending on the test.
