I’ve been interested in a SSD or HDD upgrade for my HDD recently after monitoring it on task manager and noticing it cap out at 10 MB/s however I researched a more accurate way to test it and used “winsat disk -drive d” command in the command prompt and found 180.31 MB/s for read and 157.13 MB/s for write and I’m not sure which of these values to compare with the MB/s show on offers online. I’m aware that I might be fully misunderstanding all of the information so any explanations about what to look for would be greatly appreciated.

    The Numbers you got in that command seems correct so yes compare with those

    SSDs are that fast but most importantly is the seek time being much lower than hard drives :)
