drive health and performance monitoring attributes, as well as advanced power management (APM) and native command queuing (NCQ) are enabled. It displays everything from temperatures, to the number of hours the device has been powered, and even to the extent of informing you of the firmware version of the device.Ĭrystal Disk Info shows us that this HDD has only been powered on twice, for a total of one hour. Our selection of software allows each to build on the last and to provide validation to results already obtained.Ĭrystal Disk Info is a great tool for displaying the characteristics and health of storage devices. We prefer to test with easily accessible software that the consumer can obtain, and in many cases, we even provide links (just click on the software title in the heading for that section). The software we will be using for today’s analysis is typical of many of our reviews and consists of Crystal Disk Info, ATTO Disk Benchmark, Crystal Disk Mark, Anvil’s Storage Utilities, HDTune PRO, PCMark8 and PCMark Vantage. As always, we appreciate your support in any purchase through our Amazon links. We have detailed all components in the table below should you wish to make a duplicate of our system as so many seem to do, or check out the price of any single component. Also, a big thank you to Thermaltake for the case. Key contributors to this build are our friends at ASRock for the motherboard and CPU. This Test Bench build was the result of some great relationships and purchase our appreciation goes to those who jumped in specifically to help the cause. We even provide links to most of the benchmarks used in the report. Benchmarks for consumer testing are also benchmarks with a fresh drive so that not only can we verify that manufacturer specifications are in line, but also so the consumer can replicate our tests to confirm that they have a drive that is in top-notch condition. To see the best storage system performance possible the CPU C states have been disabled, C1E support has been disabled, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) has been disabled. Our testing focus here today is on the data transfer speeds of the DT01ACA300.
