I found no explanations how are they scaled so for me they are more confusing than helpful. Downsidesīackground graphs are not to scale. Text report can be copied to clipboard from menu ( Edit > Copy) and additionally includes IOPS values. Very easy to use (just hit All button to run tests), single-screen interface, easy to interpret results. Test data size defaults to 1GB with recommendation to lower for slow drives (such as generic flash drives). It uses both sequential and random (with different block sizes) tests. What it doesĪpp performs number of repeated tests (five by default) on selected drive partition and reports read and write performance. It tests drives for read and write speeds. I had previously posted about CrystalDiskInfo and this one is another utility from same developer. It's a simple HDD benchmarking tool that allows you to get an accurate idea about the performance of your current storage solution, and not much more.I recently had few conversations on Twitter with Viper007Bond about SSDs (I totally dig my Kingston one) and CrystalDiskMark came up as benchmark tool.

It boasts various "modes" dubbed Default, Peak Performance, Real World Performance, Read, Write, and Read&Write.Īll the information can be easily pasted to your computer's clipboard for future reference. To put it as simply as possible, the app measures the sequential and random performance of your HDD of SSD. Details about how the app works and what it can do Secondly, it does modify your system's registry and, thirdly, it offers a bit more flexibility meaning that you can take it with you on any USB flash drive or other external storage solutions.

In short, it helps you gather a series of useful information about your HDD's performance levels by performing both sequential and random read/write tests. Marketed as just "a simple disk benchmark software," CrystalDiskMark is definitely one of those apps.
