Gpbench/CD is a benchmarking utility for CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW and DVD drives.
It measures and reports on media load times, transfer rates, random access times, full-stroke access times, and file copying times. You can view the data graphically, and you can have Gpbench/CD optionally test to ensure that the correct data is returned when performing read operations.
You can also have Gpbench/CD create a special test file which allows for very exact measurements.
This program was formerly called "cdBench32".
This newest release fixes a few minor bugs found in previous versions.
Limitations in downloadable version:
The registered version can generate graphs that can be exported in WMF format, and generate transfer rate data that can be saved in comma-separated value files.
