HDD Benchmark
The HDD benchmark creates a file then writes & reads from it 2 times (the file size is specified by the user).
You can benchmark a specified Hard drive, ZIP, Optical Disk, or any other write enabled drive, simply by selecting the current drive in HARDiNFO.
NOTE: For more accuracy, please set the
file size for benchmark at least twice the RAM size of your computer to overload
the cache memory allocated by Windows.
If a hard drive / partition has less than 30% percent of free
disk space then the read & write speed is much lower than on a drive with
more free disk space.
