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!

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss
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...).
