Block size can be left at Auto or changed from 1KB up to 16MB, a log file can also be created to review the results.ĭiskMark is a nice tool to run because it displays plenty of information about average, minimum, maximum and last read and write scores. To run a benchmark and get the average speed on the graph, choose the drive, enter the time to run it in the box and press Start. Something useful not found on other testing tools is the option to test a specific position on the drive, 0% for the faster outer part of a mechanical hard drive, 100% for the slower inner. If you don’t, all the drives won’t show up and there will a several second delay while starting the program. Make sure to right click and run this program as Administrator, even if you are an Administrator. It also has Read+Write and Read+Write+Verify modes, but be aware the data on any device you want to write test WILL BE DESTROYED.

HD Speed is small and portable at around 90KB, but has more configuration options to suit different storage devices. The “Results in Brief” box will show the average access time, maximum read speed, cached (burst) speed and an overall score which can be compared online at Roadkil’s website with the same or similar model drives. It’s a bit old dating from 2009 but the program is simple to run, just select the logical drive letter or physical drive number and press the Begin Test button.ĭisk Speed only runs read tests but you will get a range of scores from 512 byte blocks up to 1MB blocks for both random reads and linear reads for each block size. Roadkil makes a number of small and useful utilities, Disk Speed is another one that simply does the job you expect with no frills or bloat (it’s only ~90KB). To only run a random read test click the button where it says read/write.

Windows file caching settings are available as an option but it will often skew the results if they are not set correctly, so are best left alone unless you have a specific reason. To test a different drive to the default of C, change the path of the test file to “User defined path” and select a drive. The test file can be between 10MB and nearly 100GB with a block size to test of 1KB up to 64MB. Then it’s read back sequentially and randomly to get three resulting scores.

HD Tach can be made portable if you extract the setup executable with Universal Extractor.ĭiskTT is a small and portable testing tool that uses Windows core read and write functions to write a temporary file to the specified drive. There is a drive comparison button where you can view benchmarks for other drives but they’re mostly old scores from early 2000’s era hardware.

The results window shows a read performance graph across the whole drive in addition to a burst speed chart and information for CPU utilization, average access time and also the average read speed. Long (32MB) or Short (8MB) block tests can be chosen from the drive selection window and the results will pop up within a minute or two. However, there are a few minor compatibility issues and the program itself needs to be run in XP compatibility mode for Windows Vista or above. HD Tach is a rather old hard drive benchmarking tool dating from 2004, but it still produces good results for today’s drives.
