    HD_Speed description

     

    Measures both sustained and burst data transfer rates of your HDD,CD/DVD-ROMS and FLOPPY

    Measures both sustained and burst data transfer rates of your hard disks, cd/dvd-roms and floppy. Realtime graphical display.

    HD_Speed is a very useful hard disk utility that monitores the transfer rate of your HDD.

    What is the chain through which the data flows to reach hd_speed?
    Simplified: drive platters -> driver controller (including it's own cache) -> ide/scsi/sata connection -> host controller (for ide&sata, usually part of the motherboard chipset) -> drivers for hdd controller -> hd_speed

    What method does HD_Speed use to read/write ?
    The following Win32 API calls: CreateFile(devicename,...), ReadFile() and WriteFile(). See Microsoft's PlatformSDK for more info.

    What relevance is the offset setting ?
    The transfer speed of most disk types varies at different points. eg, harddrives are usually fastest at the start, and slower further on. CD-Roms are typically the opposite

     Softpedia guarantees that HD_Speed 1.5.4.77 is 100% FREE, which means it does not contain any form of malware, including spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors. [read more >]
