Hello all,
I took a few HDTune Pro benchmarks of my 640GB Black, on my Asus M4A87TD Evo. (SB850)
I've got all sorts of short-stroke benchmarks. Thought it might be interesting to see how well different short-strokes and partition sizes scale. I've posted all of them, so hopefully that saves someone else some work.
Keep in mind that on a decent controller (ICH10R!) the access times would be even lower. I've seen 640GB blacks score 11.8ms on one of those.
Other notes:
And now for IOPS and access times:
Past a certain point, random chance seems to play a bigger effect.
I like how a 10% short-stroke increases random read performance by ~50%.

Other notes:
- My OS partition (XP) is 16GB.
- More interesting benches: Caviar Black 640GB Benches (on different SATA controllers)
