Versatile benchmarking utility to assess drive performance, offering rapid sequential/random speed tests, easy-to-read results, multilingual support, and more, all in a free package.




Vdbench is described as 'Disk and tape I/O workload generator for verifying data integrity and measuring performance of direct attached and network connected storage on Windows, Solaris, Linux, AIX, OS/X and HP/UX' and is a Benchmark tool in the os & utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Vdbench for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac and Self-Hosted apps. The best Vdbench alternative is CrystalDiskMark, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Vdbench are KDiskMark, Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, fio and Iometer.
