Hi everybody,
I'm thinking about measuring the speed of my various disks on my various Macs. Until now, I have used 2 measures: Speedometer 4 and the time taken to copy a folder with 95MB of 1000 or so small files, about 100 medium-sized files or 3 large files from one medium to another.
Does anybody have any other ideas for disk-measurements that could be made? There are other applications like MacBench, Norton SystemInfo etc. There is an application from ATTO (ExpressTools Pro?), whose graphs I sometimes see on old websites when measuring performance. Ideally. I would like to be able to use it on an SE running System 6 upwards.
In the end, I want to be able to compare disks and Macs with each other. If any of you have any ideas as to how it can be made more meaningful, then I would appreciate it. And, if I get my act together, I'll produce a spreadsheet with the results.
Thanks,
aa
