Results from a SSD which seems to be pretty consistent speed, but the 2 spinners appear to slow down towards the 100% position.
Is this unusual?

DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License Guest:
If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.
Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
(You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)
During development it was noted that spinning disks get slower as they get towards 100%. This is because the disk rotates at a constant speed, but the later cylinders are smaller and contain less sectors. The front of the disk is the outside where more data can be contained within one cylinder, so require less revolutions to get 1GB.
Trying to understand your title "Results from SATA drives classed as IDE".
Are you saying "These are my results where RS correctly reports the SATA drives as IDE";
or "Why does RS report these SATA drives as IDE?"
Are you saying "These are my results where RS correctly reports the SATA drives as IDE";
or "Why does RS report these SATA drives as IDE?"
They are results of SATA drives using an IDE interface, sorry for the old confusing title.

Thanks for that, did look for that kind of option but couldn't see it.@Graham Just FYI, it is possible to paste a text table into a message, and have it aligned, by highlighting it and flagging it as code. That setting is under the right hand "dots" on the tool bar and the menu item looks like "</>". That way, you don't have to embed an image.Ron
