Nice set of benchmarking tools.
I use hard drive benchmarking to determine if a computer needs a new hard drive. Typically a hard drive is the slowest pieces of a computer, so if it’s not performing well the entire machine will suffer.
If a hard drive isn’t up to average specs, we back everything up, defrag and then test again. If it’s still not up to par, we replace it.
Thanks again for posting this list of great resources.
Sure. If you have more, let us know.
