Compare HDD and SSD performance

2

I have just ordered my first SSD, and I want to run some tests on my current HDD now, and then run the same tests again once I get my SSD up and running in a couple of days, so I can see in detail how faster the new SSD is.

Can you recommend a (or a number of) good hard drive benchmarking tools for this sort of task?

Thanks

A good one for HDDs is HDTUNE.

Overclockers seem to like AS SSD.

I've read mixed reviews on benchmarking SSDs, but a test or two shouldn't kill it.

Probably the best upgrade you can make to any modern system.

1Thanks, got a 3 year warranty with it, so as you say a test or two shouldn't do too much damage. – JMK – 2012-12-09T18:42:22.893
