Write/read speed

Hi,
is it possible, to get from somwhere read/write-spead information on the used harddisk?
Thank you, horst
(Harddisk manager 2010)

 

I think non-Paragon program (something like Disk activity monitor) could help.

 

Perhaps this is what you need ?

Passmark makes tests, but doesn't allow to monitor current read\write speed.

Have a look at http://sites.google.com/site/glintutility/

Hi all,
thank you for your answers. I've forgotten to activate subscription for this thread, so it took till today - sorry.
You mentioned lots of tools I have to try. My harddisk seem to be rather slow and I want to verify.

Using HD Tune, http://www.hdtune.com/, it is possible to "benchmark" hard discs.

 

Robin, as far as I know will the Free HD-Tune only support 'read'.
But your answers inspired me to perform a new googlesearch by using new keywords and found

That seem to run perfect.
So, thank's , horst

 

Yes, and HD Tune Pro only does "write" tests on a disc without partitions. From the manual: "To prevent accidental data loss, the write test can only be performed on a disk with no partitions."

 

Oh, thank's for that information. I considered to give HD Tune a run, but now ... .
Meanwhile I've tried the tool - and that is accepting partitions - I have shown above and it is doing what I'm expecting as I just want to compare disks I already have.
