    So, long story short, I was looking for a good checksum tool for verifying folders. I came across this gem of a software, called simply "checksum". But this is probably the best checksum (and extensive too) software I have ever seen. Looks like there are several other goodies too on that site..

    Code:

    Interesting site. Even the homepage is good.

    How he suggests paying him back for his work is interesting too.

    When a person or company claims "the best", "the fastest", "the strongest", etc, things start badly !
    Corz says “The world's fastest hashing application, just got faster!”. Really ? Okay, let's see that.


    ** with hash algorithm: MD5 **

    RapidCRC-Unicode
    First execution: 31.64 s
    second execution : 14.72 s (I suppose internal cache system in the soft)​

    TurboSFV
    First execution: 33.838s
    Second execution: 33.400s
    Third execution (option cache: ON): 6.867s​

    Checksum (Corz)
    First execution: 1m32s
    Second execution : 1m31s​



    ** with hash algorithm: BLAKE2 **

    RapidCRC-Unicode
    not available​

    TurboSFV
    First execution: 33.496s
    Second execution (option cache: ON): 6.816s​

    Checksum (Corz)
    First execution: 1m33s​


    Really Corz, the “The world's fastest hashing application”? Just three times slower than “RapidCRC-Unicode” and TurboSFV on my computer.

    TurboSFV is my choice. Really good.
    I have already lost data in the past by hard disk corruption. Some things are priceless. Now, it's MultiPar, TurboSFV and Bvckup for my data.


    Test done with a copy of myDocuments on a test folder, on external drive - WD Black on USB3 :
    9948 files (JPG, ZIP, RAR, DOC, etc) - 1386 folders - 2.81 Gbytes
    Windows 10 x64, Intel i7 Skylake.

    Any chance these results could have been influenced by an antivirus engine messing with one and not the other?

    Looks like the domain expired. Wonders what happened to him.

    I paid for the personal license (EUR 5) in 2016-07-01. I don't think there were any updates since. Wish everybody else had helped too so he could have kept it going further and better.

    Do you still have the installer? I no longer have it, so I very sadly can’t reinstall it.

    You're in luck! The archive has got you - https://web.archive.org/web/20181105093955/http://corz.org/windows/software/checksum/

    Unfortunately, both betas as well as the 64-bit normal version are from 5 July 2017 (that's the latest snapshot of their download page in the archive) However, the 32-bit normal version's latest snapshot is from 5 November 2018, much newer than the other 3 versions. Ofc, the 32-bit likely won't work on 64-bit windows, but it doesn't hurt to try...
