The program provided by Sandisk to monitor the drive is called Sandisk SSD Dashboard and can be downloaded from this address.Īfter installing and starting the program, it will open with the Status tab selected, giving you essential information regarding the drive’s health, Sata connection and temperature. The disk is made of plastic, and while you are not going to notice it if you install it in a computer, if you plan to use it as a portable storage it could be something that is going to bother you. The box and disk do not look like much as you can see in the following picture. This SSD sells in Sweden for about 768 crowns, which is about 90 dollars. The performance specified by Sandisk is a sequential read of up to 520 MB/s and sequential write of up to 350 MB/s and that is what i am going to test for. The test system : CPU – I5 4670K, MB – Gigabyte G1.Sniper.Z97, Memory – 16 GB (4×4 GB Kingston Hyper X Beast 2400 DDR 3), PSU – Zalman ZM700-GT. I will be using Anvil Storage Utilities and Crystal Disk mark for the testing and i will be running each of them five times to see if the results vary. I did not run such tests before so as the blog’s name says, this is going to be an average testing procedure. I have been thinking about running some tests on different SSD disks, not because i do not trust the test already found on the internet but out of curiosity, as we have a few different models at all times at my workplace and i would like to get some firsthand experience with the whole testing process.
