From: Yousuf Khan on 25 Feb 2010 04:51 I need to find a benchmark program that will measure transfer rates to individual hard disks, over all kinds of connections (IDE, SATA, USB, etc.). Something that's somewhat similar to memory testers which can also determine failure patterns, in addition to raw throughput. What's recommended? Yousuf Khan

None of those are worth a hoot at reporting -- let alone analyzing -- transient errors. I don't much care about analyzing HD failures, since any sign of failure just triggers replacement. -- Cheers, Bob

I didn't notice that, I'll have to look at it again. Yousuf Khan |
