Utility features
In order to calculate the write and read speed of a hard drive, you should select the data to be tested, i.e. the type of data to be copied. The utility fills it with random characters. The accuracy of the result depends on the test type and the number of passes. The more passes - the more accurate the result, but the longer the test will be. You can select one of the four available tests or run them all at once. The result is also influenced by the correct connection of the devices. For example, the fastest hard drives should be connected to sockets that provide maximum speed.
