Checking Hard Drive Performance!!

[Notorious Lee]

What is the best software to use to monitor hard drive performance (speed, etc)?

Could give HDtach a try...

HDTach or HDTune are probably the best and should return fairly similar results, actually come to think of it I don't know of any more without searching.

 

[Notorious Lee]

Ok thanks.

I'll give these a try.

Just tried running HDtach but it's only for XP.

I have Vista 64 bit.

Does anyone know of any that is Vista compatible?

hd-tach works fine in Vista

just run as Admin and run HD-TACH in "XP SP2 Compatability mode"
