Good and open source. Now supporting USB sticks(flash drive) :)
[Edited by OKTAYMERCAN, December 18]
Unreliable. Results vary too much between one test and another keeping same settings. BTW, tests at default (as 99% of people do just clicking All button) are done with 1 thread only so CPU's single core MHz speed is the most important factor during benchmarks (unreliable for modern heavily multi-threaded/processors HW configs?). Set it to multicore and you'll get something totally different (and more realistic to real potentials of your disks with your HW config). Does not report T° temperature.
It is a lie, that this app supports USB sticks. It doesn't even see them.

Completely useless tool. Test cache not disk. Based on Windows mechanisms. Popular piece of trash.
Completely misleading tool. Tests disk cache, not sustained disk speed.
The only advantage is that you can spot a profane.
Easy to use, Nice UI
