Measuring the speed of the hard drive via HD Speed

How quickly and without further installations to measure hard drive speed? Put some programs - no, it's too wasteful for such a simple operation. The solution is simple - use the free, the portable tool HD Speed.

The program is very small (about 70 KB), fast and easy. This handy utility is a portable, it can run as a normal user, but to disclose the full capabilities still need to run it as root. When testing shows the current speed, average speed for the test, the position of the section (want to test the entire disk - wait for 100%, but in the case of large sections of it will be very long) can be chosen resolution read blocks are operations (read or write, or both etc.). The program can also serve as a test of the integrity of the information as records and displays errors during the test. The test result is displayed as a graph, with it when switching to another hard test drive schedule is not erased, and continues - which is easier to visually compare the readings with several sources. The same tests can be recorded in a text LOG-file, which will appear next to a single executable program. HD Speed ​​is primarily interested computer scientists, who are often repaired and checked computers - recorded on a flash drive and enjoy it anywhere.
