Hey everyone,
for a personal diagnostic boot cd with Windows PE I am requesting the disc benchmark HD Tune 2.55:
Program: HD Tune 2.55
License: Freeware
Description: Measures the data rate of HDDs and SSDs in MB/s and the access time in ms. In addition there is an error scan and it reads the S.M.A.R.T. information from every HDD.
Website: http://www.hdtune.com/
Other: some registry entries under HKCU\Software\EFD Software
As an alternative there are also some other programs like:
ATTO Disk Benchmark

CrystalDiskMark

Thanks!

Just to avoid misanderstandings, the above link points to the release of ChrystalDiskMark despite it's title.;) It can be found in the directory, too.
ChrystalDiskInfo also is availlable in the directory, if you need S.M.A.R.T. information.
Thanks for this advice, but it seems like CrystalDiskMark needs IE 6 or higher, which is quite complicated to install in Windows PE.
So do you think it would be possible to create a portable version of HD Tune?
Why do you need a portable version of HD Tune if you plan to use it with Windows PE? I am not very familiar with Windows PE but should it not be easy just to include HD Tune on that disc? I don't know which dependencies HD Tune needs, but as it runs perfectly with BartPE I think WInPE should work, too.
I think standand portablization issues don't matter here (but I may be wrong...).
