Determine the transfer rates of your hard disk drive.
HD Speed measures both sustained and burst data transfer rates of your hard disks, cd/dvd-roms, flash cards/sticks, and floppys. Realtime graphical display.
Simple program that measures read speed on your hard disk or flash drive.
Cons
Also measures write speed, but warns you that it has to wipe your flash drive (erase) to do so! So this program is only suitable for testing read speeds, unless you've got a drive you can afford to completely erase.
