Portable Drive Speedometer

Portable Drive Speedometer is a small software application designed specifically for helping you monitor the read and write speeds of your hard drive in real-time.

Since this is the portable version of the program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to keep an eye on the read and write speeds of your hard drive on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Portable Drive Speedometer places a small panel on your desktop which reveals the current read and write speed values. You may move the window to the desired desktop area and access the utility’s functions by performing a right-click mouse operation on its main panel.

What’s more, you can make the application hide the minimalistic pane and check out the speed values by hovering the mouse cursor over the program’s icon from the system tray, conceal the read/write text from the main panel and leave only the bars for indicating the values, and reset the current position of the primary window.

Portable Drive Speedometer gives you the possibility to alter the color of the background and text for the read and write options, choose the default colors or randomize them, run the utility at Windows startup, make the main panel remain on top of other tools, switch to a compact mode that combines the two bars into a single one, and enable the transparency mode.

To sum things up, Portable Drive Speedometer offers a simple software solution in order to help you monitor the read and write speeds of your hard drive.
