HD TACH
HD Tach shows the Crucial M225 128GB SSD hitting a lightning fast 231.4MB/s and again topping the chart.
The Burst rate test in HD Tach can just about be tossed aside for SSD's but we're putting it out there for informational purposes anyway. Generally burst tests are a result of a cache only read or write, and in the case of most SSD's the cache is DRAM based and the burst rate comes in slower than the Average read.
SiSoft Sandra
We decided to toss in a little Sandra testing because of the graphical representation of Sandra so we can see the wave form of the drives performance. The Crucial M225 128GB SSD comes in at 241.65MB/s with a nice flat wave form with a small dip precisely at halfway through the drive. High quality SSD's with enough cache produce nice flat waveforms and don't taper off because they don't depend on a mechanical arm like platter drives do.
