Disk Throughput Tester Changelog

What's new in Disk Throughput Tester 2.10.16.222

Jan 12, 2015
  • Changed: get true free RAM on x64 systems
  • New: added the read/write mode to the random access test. The random read/write test alternates between read and write after each seek, so 5% of the file is randomly read and another 5% is randomly altered
  • Changed: increased the possible block size up to 100MB (99999KB); expect a write error on XP and older when using a >64MB blocksize

New in Disk Throughput Tester 2.0.0.11 (Apr 17, 2009)

  • New: selection of file caching options. In version 1 lots of people were testing
  • their disks with file sizes that were less than the available RAM resulting in very high read thruput. In that particular situation the file is completely cached by windows in the first write action. After that the read tests are fully read from the file cache (eg RAM). You are then in fact measuring the speed of the internal memory through file I/O routines in stead of the harddisk.
  • New: when an action is aborted (keyboard stroke or mouseclick) the results measured
  • thus far are shown in a hint.
  • Changed: set test file size from 10MB up to 100GB.
  • Changed: set chunk size from 1KB up to 10MB (in KB).
