HD Tach v3.0.4.0

HD Tach is a low level hardware benchmark for random access
read/write storage devices such as hard drives, removable drives
(ZIP/JAZZ), flash devices, and RAID arrays. HD Tach uses custom device
drivers and other low level Windows interfaces to bypass as many layers
of software as possible and get as close to the physical performance of
the device possible.

Benchmark Results: HD Tach showed that the Corsair Flash Voyager 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive had an average read speed of 80.5 MB/s, a burst speed of 92.8 MB/s and a random access of 0.5ms.
