There is no way they can be accurate. I think it's just a free program that does not quite get it right with SSDs.
I'll bet the makers of HDTune will fix it up as SSDs become more popular.

That's what it feels like sometimes. Having an average of 227 MB/sec as I do......it makes things nice!
Keep these numbers coming in. I should make a graph of all the different brands.....but we have mostly Intel in this thread....I think there are a few OCZs and my Partiots..
I got my 80GB Intel X25-M Gen2 from mwave.com. I've had it for a few months now. Probably close to 4 months ago.
This is other data I would like to know.....how long we have used the drives. I have used my first Patriot Torqx for about 9 months now. 3 others for about 2-6 months.
I have done ALL firmware updates however. Some may not go to this extreme. I have nothing bad to say about the Patriot drives. I would like to know if anyone has had problems....especially with older (JMicron controlled) drives.....I would like to know if anyone is satisfied witht he older drives, and when the new Intel and new SandForce drives come out, I would like to see some numbers and any problems or good things about them posted here.
I wish this (or something like it) was a sticky. We could keep track of real world application of SSDs.
Keep the data coming gentlemen and ladies.
Very good idea. One of my friends said recently: "SSDs are not ready for prime time". He is probably right when it comes to the average user that uses his PC like an appliance. But an information exchange like you suggest could advance the cause.
I sometimes peek into the OCZ forum. There is a lot to learn from those hard core guys. Question is whether one really needs to know all that nitty, gritty stuff. i can live without squeezing the last 3% performance out of my SSDs.
I would say 2010 is the year SSDs are ready for the masses.
I spend some time on the OCZ and Patriot forums too. I would like to see some more info here. I hope people will post anything they know about them here. Post some performance numbers and any other info you can.
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting the results. Very interesting to see,. What are you using there to test? I recognize it from somewhere, but can't remember what program that is....
