Windows Drive speed test HDD / SSD
Built into cmd for Windows is a neat utility for testing the raw speed of your HDD’s / SSD’s. Here we’ve tested two drives of different type namely Western Digital Green 2Tb HDD, Intel 128Gb X-25M SSD.
To run this utility on Windows, do the following:
- Open an elevated command prompt
Click Start Orb then type cmd in the search box
Right click on cmd and select Run as administrator, you may not have to do this and just run as normal, depending on your version and setup of Windows.
Tip: Open quickly: Windows Key + R, cmd enter - In the Command prompt window, type winsat disk -drive
To test E: just type winsat disk -drive e
To test C: just type winsat drive (you do not need to type C here) - Post the results here >>
WD 2Tb Green
Drive not being written to other than test
Intel 128Gb SSD
Worth noting the SSD was in C: drive operation so being written to whilst test was carried out. Performance probably slightly down because of it.
Even with the SSD being the drive in operation it is significantly quicker than the HDD.
I think the 3rd (last) column in the output may refer to the Windows Experience Index, seems to tally up.
OCZ 128Gb Vertex 4 SSD
This is running FW1.5 and in AHCI mode but still not achieving full performance.

@anno, grab an SSD mate, the difference is night and day.
I would recommend a 128GB Vertex 4 SSD; keep your HDD for media.
Go to Top of the page
yes TY !
I was building a pc and saved a bit on this drive
59 eur
What a Pile of Sh%t this seagate is ..sorry but it really is ..Its in effect slower then the old series of barracuda !! WTF ?
All runs at windows benchmark 7.9 but my hdd this is rubbish
I ll have to get a smallish ssd for OS
maybe one of these cache ssd?
they move stuff i use automatically /
then i wont have to reinstall ..
Go to Top of the page
really i was wondering if there is something wrong with the drive or is it normal that slow?
Go to Top of the page
Probably about right; check out the 2TB WD Green from the article, it’s running cr@ppy random read times too.
Having said that, they are still good for backup and media streaming at 1080p.
My first SSD was an Intel 80GB SATA 3Gb/s, and even that crushed any HDD I’d ever used. I used it for the OS and some programs.
Even the cheap SSD’s will outshine HDD.
Check out this old YT video I did of the 80GB Intel SSD:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRjlNSUyhuw
That’s pretty much Word, Excel, Outlook, Fireworks, Firefox, IE, Photoshop opening pretty darn quickly
Not particularly scientific, but shows some real world speed to these SSD’s.
Go grab one!

Screw the HDD ! They are just too slow nowadays
I have this rubbish 500 GB drive i bought
on a Monster I5 with AMD 7870OC and it cannot even FRAP while playin ..
I used to have a dual core 2.6 with 2 hdd and it was better then this setup
MY hdd is the bottleneck
Barracuda my ass !! Seagate ..Where are the good old days when ur HDD where actually TOP
Cheers for the advice i am upgrading again 1 week after build LOL

I hear that anno. I’ve just upgraded an oldish Sony Vaio i3, which was using a Samsung 500GB HDD.
It’s now using a 6GB/s SSD and Windows 8… the startup time is extremely quick; it really releases the speed of that little chip.

I get results like Mike Price above. But when I go to copy or move files, I get a transfer rate of 3-5 MB/s . I am on Windows 7 64 Pro. If you’re going to ask me if I’ve checks X Y or Z, the answer is yes. ACHI, trim, disk is not even close to full and anything else you can find by Googling for a few hours. How can this be? IT seems like Win 7 is just fundamentally broken.
