My HDD Speed : Lightweight application which enables you to easily view the read and write speed of your hard drive, in real time, on your desktop
My HDD Speed is a tiny, yet useful piece of software, which was specifically designed in order to help individuals view their hard drive’s write and read speed at all times.
The upper hand of a portable app
This tool is portable, which means that the installation process can be easily skipped. As a consequence, it will not add new items to the Windows registry or hard drive, without your approval, and it will not leave any kind traces behind after its removal.Another important aspect that you should take into consideration is that if you place the program files to an external data device (e.g. pen drive), you make it possible to run My HDD Speed on any machine you have been granted access to, with just a click of the EXE.
Simple UI to show you information
The interface is minimal, as it is only comprised of a small window which displays all your partitions and the real-time writing and reading speed. It is suitable to all user categories, including those with little or no previous experience with computers.
Settings to configure
By right-clicking on the main window, you bring up a context menu which enables you to minimize this software utility to the system tray, launch it at Windows startup and lock the windows position, so as not to move it by mistake. It is also possible to view information about the developers, rescan all the detected drives and change the refresh rate from 250ms to 500ms or 1s.
Finally
All in all, My HDD Speed proves to be a useful piece of software that does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, as the CPU and memory usage is minimal. The interface is friendly, the response time is good and we did not detect errors or crashes.
