How to calculate the IsMyHdOK, SSDs or HDDs benchmark points?
It was a hard decision for me, to define the benchmark points values for IsMyHdOK
for Windows 11, 10, ... etc. and MS Server OS.
But here is the answer :-)
The sequential read and write MB per second = 1 point. The other 3 values (4 K random, 512 K random, and 4K64QD)
0.33 points for each MB/sec, because these measurements are very related.
For the access time, there are no bonus points, because these affect to all last 3 values.
The total benchmark points is read + write :-)
Here in the example for my Samsung SSD 840 - 250
Read
493+ (26+419+297)*0.33 =
742
Write
210+ (58+145+137)*0.33=
324
Total
1066
I have long thought about it and at the same time not completely devalue the standard HD versus SSD.

The answer to this question is quite simple, but you can also call FORD and ask, why they produce cars if there are Chrysler But joking aside, There are
You dont want to wait to long for the test results, to see if your HDD properly works on MS Windows and Server OS AND: Too many tests may reduce the lifetime
Here is the short explanation for each test and benchmark values in IsMyHdOK on Windows 11, 10, etc. and MS Server OS Sequentiall: Write and Read linear
