You need to enable advanced size check. Your results are inaccurate otherwise.

i ran this about 5 times in a row,it stayed consistant.

You need to enable advanced size check. 😛

 

[Pariah]

You're only testing the the first 8GB of the drive. This will yield inaccurate results. You need to enable advanced size check to test the whole drive.

 

[Vinny N]

Yeah 5.4ms is waaaay too low, and that 7.25gb marker on the graph kind of shows you're not using advanced size check since the X15s are 18gb 🙂

 

[Zipperhead]

i had the drive partitioned c:8 gig d:1 gig e:9

 

[Vinny N]

Doesn't matter how it's partitioned. You still need to use advanced size check.

You should notice that HDTach's list of drives is only hardware drives, it lumps all the partitions under a single hard drive, you're not testing just that partition if you're somehow saying you don't need advanced size check and that's why it's showing ~8gb.

If you enable advanced size check, the graph will be for the whole drive no matter how it's partitioned.

i will rerun when that system is back together(sold m.b.,cpu,and ram).what #'s are you guy's getting with it unchecked.

 

[Pariah]

6.8ms a little over 36 average
