  • Can SD cards be tested with less intensity than hard disks?

    Dear Passmark,

    My system-under-test has both spinning hard disks and SD cards. These get lumped in BIT into one category called "Disk." I want to know if I can make the SD card tests less intense than the hard disk tests. This would better reflect real-world usage. The duty cycle adjustment for Disks seems to apply equally to hard disks and SD cards.

    I did research Seek Count and Duty Cycle Override, but those variables don't seem to be what I'm looking for. Please let me know if I can adjust test intensity between SD cards and hard disks separately. Thanks.

    The "Duty Cycle Override" setting is what you are looking for.
    100% is max load.
    1% would be very low load.

    Some SD cards get absolutely hammered in the real world. Security cameras (recording 24x7) and dash mounted cameras are good examples.
