HDD/SSD benchmark program... looking for one.

[watts300]

I must be retarded, because I'm having a heck of a time finding a free program to run a test on my setup. 

 

Could some one please be so kind as to provide me a direct link to your favorite one?

Ahh.  Thanks.  Now I'm stuck trying to find the "click here to run the test you idiot" button.

The program has already been useful in identifying the drives though.  I have two 500GB's set up in RAID0.   I thought they were identical, but it turns out that one of them has been used quite a bit more.   In the picture you can see the four-digit number for power-on count and power-on hours.    The second drive is single-digits.   Soooo... I'll swap out that one with a different one.  It should give more reliability.  

 

But I still don't know how to use this program enough to test the read/write of this array. 

It's probably hidden in plain sight trying to make me look foolish.

You downloaded the wrong one, that's disk info program. Download the one that said CrystalDiskmark

Oh man.  See?  Told you I'm dumb.  

 

Thanks though.  I examined the webpage more and found the right Download button.   I installed it on my VM just to make sure.   When Windows has finished installing and updating, I'll give this Array a test. 

 

I'm expecting it to out-perform the 1TB Evo.

Don't be so hard on yourself, everyone that I recommended this program to including me all downloaded the wrong one.
