SSD Benchmark

Is benchmarking SSD bad?

I use software like magician,hd tune,hard disk sentinel.

I sometimes just run the file benchmark on hd tune and stop it and start it again and do it somethimes,is it harmful for the ssd?

i sometimes dont even let the full test finish and stop it and start again.is this a problem?

TIA

Benchmarking is NOT bad. Why not push your hardware to maximum if it was designed that way?

No not really. It doesn't continously write to the ssd. It only writes maybe a small set of bytes and then measures how fast they got there, how the response of the ssd was and such.

 

Don't worry.

 

If it were really that bad, Linus wouldn't consider putting 24 ssd's in a constant read-write server.

Your SSD can writhe about 500 MB per second. If the test takes 20 sec thas a maximum of 10 GB, but I think it will read half the time so it's 5 GB. The drive is rated about 50 - 100 GB written per day. So if you don't test it 10 times a day every day it's not a problem.

Nope its fine, but no point running the test a million times

So its not a problem if i just run adn stop in the middle because i see if i do that the speeds are much slower and have spikes and peaks.

If you stop the test in the middle it won't hurt your SSD, but personaly I don't relay on the "half finished" results.

Depends which benchmarks you use.  Crystalmark writes and reads the data it writes, whereas HD Tune doesn't write, and only reads from data already available on your SSD, which is real world performance.
