Read and Write Speed

Parkdale is free tool to measure and test Read and Write Speed of Hard Drive, CD-ROM, Network Servers, etc. Simply select the drive and click on Start to run the test. The transfer rate is displayed in KB or MB per second. You can also adjust the blocksize used to access the disk.

The program has two different modes:

  • BlockAccess – The test data is read from/written onto the disk directly without using the filesystem.
  • FileAccess – The test data is read from/written into a normal file using the filesystem.

Several comnmandline options are also available. All options are shown if the program is started with ‘-?’.
