DriveSpeed is a Java 1.4 graphical (GUI) application to test the speed of disk drives or flash drives. Large temporary files are written with all zero bytes, then read back. To get accurate results, files must be bigger than the amount of physical memory on your computer (RAM), and should be several times bigger, because your computer uses some of its memory as a "disk cache" to increase the apparent speed of drives.
