Currently, the program allows to measure sequential and random read/write speeds. Speaking about the test, it needs just a couple of minutes to perform all the benchmarks.
On a mechanical hard drive (HDD), sequential reads can be 10–100 times faster than random reads because the drive head doesn’t need to constantly reposition itself.
SEQ stands for sequential. That’s because it processes data that’s stored next to each other, in order, with no skipping around the disk. Here’s how to read the whole label: 1M means the drive is handling data in 1 MiB (mebibyte, about o
The idea behind sequential and random read/write metrics is to reflect how we use our storage drives on a day-to-day basis. If you are transferring a large file to your drive or accessing that large file then we're talking about sequential read and wr
Sequential read is a disk access pattern whereby large contiguous blocks of data are read from adjacent locations on the surface of a device at a queue depth of one. The term is used primarily within the context of benchmarking and the speed is usually me
