diglloydTools DiskTester
DiskTester is a 64-bit application which tests drive performance and reliability for single volumes or RAID. Some highlights:
- The fill-volume command is your smart move for forcing bad blocks to be mapped out whenever you get a new hard drive, as well as for graphing performance across the volume*;
- The recondition command brings your solid state drive (SSD) back up in performance.
- The run-streams command helps video users determine if their hardware can support multiple video streams. DiskTester can also be used for testing digital camera cards, network performance, or comparing single-drive performance with SATA, Fire Wire and USB. Its sophisticated testing approach offers the most consistent and reliable results available on the Mac today.
