Cross Platform Disk Test (CPDT)

Cross Platform Disk Test is an application that resembles a utility more than anything. It can analyze the characteristics of RAM and storage devices such as HDDs, SSDs, USB Drives, etc. It's fast, intuitive and easy to use.

No matter how you look at it, this app is a must-have in your collection of hardware benchmark utilities. Its functions recommend it without any doubt, while its portability and lightweight nature make sure that your PC is not clogged one bit by the presence of this app.

The application's looks are not that convincing. You may even have the impression you are dealing with a CMD operated program, but you would be wrong.

The style is ultra simplistic, but CPDT is more of a tool than an application so the main focus in its case is on function development, which thankfully is in huge contrast with its looks. Regarding the interface, another nice addition is the graphical depiction of the storage analysis.

While it may not prove to be something to pay too much attention to, it shows activity and that the program actually does check your storage. The mapping could also be of use to an expert in understanding differences between reading and writing speeds, for example.

Functionality is basic. The app does what it says on the label. It does it very fast and thorough. It won't miss an inch, and this is most important in utilities of this sort. The way it works should be more important than how it looks or even how it feels. Yes, aspect does add to functionality but without the latter the program is useless.

Storage tests include but are not limited to: sequential write and read, random write and read and memory copy. This is just to get a basic idea of what the app looks at and what the comparison terms are actually for.

Cross Platform Disk Test or CPDT is an application worth taking into consideration if you're looking to benchmark or simply run a routine test on your RAM or more specifically your storage spaces, regardless of what size or form is in question.
