Testing of Hard Drive Speed etc

I have just installed a new hard drive and tested the performance on the free PcPitstop Web Site. attached is a part screen shot of the results.(results.jpg)
Whilst the performance figures appear to be quite good for my new drive,I am having doubts as to their veracity.

You see I have no Drive I in my computer.
:confused::confused:

Is there a way of verifying performance??

I take what PC Pitstop says with a huge grain of salt.

And I mean huge!

HD Tach is a good hard drive benchmark (the free version does read testing, the registered version adds write support). I'm not sure if it supports Vista yet though.

Folks have reported that HD Tach has worked in compatibility mode with Vista 32-bit ...not sure if it works in compatibility mode with 64-bit (but it should).

Hokay...for those readers who care to know...I just tested it and HD Tach does run in Vista 64-bit, but in compatibility (XP) mode only.

We now return you to the regularly scheduled program...

Thanks Train, Tuttle and Bistro.
As salt is not recommended for my Blood Pressure I must refrain from using the doubtful program and try HD Tach before returning to the regularly scheduled program.
