Default Test

HD Tune Pro the default test shows us a minimum speed of 719.5MB/s with a maximum of 1201MB/s and an average speed of 992.1MB/s with an access time of 0.033ms. CPU usage runs a little higher for SSD’s and especially NVMe SSDs and came in at 4% (Approx).

0Fill

The 0Fill test on HD Tune Pro shows us 2.123GB/s read and 1.819GB/s Write. 4KB random Multi shows 124086 IOPS read and 23479 IOPS write.

Mixed Data Test

The HD Tune Pro Mixed data test has the Force MP500 at 1.398GB/s Read and 1.064GB/s write so again mixed 0Fill and incompressible data slows the MP500 down a bit but speeds remain mind-boggling high!
