Squall Leonhart Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 everytime you do a benchmark the block size changes making results inconsistent when set to auto. one run might have 128K blocks, and the following on the same drive might have 1MB, resulting in up to 10MB/s difference on some tests. When set to auto, the results of all block sizes should display in the results, rather then the best result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 In auto mode AIDA64 tests all block sizes, and selects the one block size that provides the best scores. In many cases the results for various block sizes will be very close to each other, resulting in selecting a different block size. If you're certain about which one is the best block size to use, then simply avoid using the auto setting Regards, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall Leonhart Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 i looked around and found the most common block size is 64KB, so did my benches with that setting. its unfortunate that hd tach has not had an update in years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
