Why should I keen on ssd speed test utility?

 

Hi Matthew,

 

SSD stands for Solid State Drive. It is different from the mechanical drive in that it doesn’t have moving parts. A Hard Disk drive has a mechanical arm holding a read/write head that moves around to access data in the drive.

 

Solid State Drives are considered more efficient because it requires less power to access data as opposed to a Hard drive that needs a motor to move its arm and spin the disk. Results show that a Solid State Drive can open a file 30% faster than when the file is opened from a Hard Disk Drive.

 

To answer your question about the efficiency caused by a SSD speed test utility, the answer is, it mainly just tests the speed of your SSD. This does not have any effect on the efficiency of a SSD in any way. It can be beneficial because it will let you know the performance of your SSD but it does nothing to improve its efficiency or power management. The SSD itself is already efficient.
