New SSD Benchmark Tool (Alternative to AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark)

[Phison2000]

Dear Community,

Over the past few weeks, I’ve developed my own SSD benchmark app, and I’d like to briefly introduce it here and get your feedback.
The app displays clear benchmark results for read, write, and overall performance, so you can quickly assess and compare your drives.

Additionally, you can determine the pSLC cache using a sustained write test:

I wanted to build a modern alternative to classic tools like AS SSD Benchmark and CrystalDiskMark, with a focus on clear metrics and ease of use.

Features at a glance:

• Stand-alone: Portable Windows tool, no installation required
• Displays key S.M.A.R.T. values
• Displays average and maximum values
• Calculates a score for comparison purposes
• pSLC cache analysis + temperature trend display
• Option to share tests online, including a high-score list.
• Windows 10 and 11 support
• Multilingual (German, English, French, and more) + Dark Mode

I’d appreciate any feedback, whether it’s bug reports, feature requests, or general feedback on usability and test results.

Best regards, Markus

would be cool to have a linux version

 

[Phison2000]

I've now released Version 2. It includes several new features that can be accessed via the "Tools" menu item.

• S.M.A.R.T. data and drive status
• Error scan: detect bad blocks
• Overwrite volume with random data
• Measure latency and response time
• Flexible windows (multiple windows)

You can also find details on the download page: https://ssd-tester.com/app_download.php

Please feel free to send me feedback!

Do a Wireshark on it!!

It simply checks to see if there is a new version.

Yes this seems cool but not available for Linux yet.

Version 2.2.6 now offers HTML export of S.M.A.R.T. data, and it is now possible to save files as .jpg:

Pretty cool man! Thanks!

It's not supposed to remember the drive data when you change to another... So we can switch back and forth, etc...

That's not a bug, that's a feature.

Vibe-coded I presume

Tried the download link but it wouldn't complete, so no results (thanks anyways)..

It must be your internet connection. The download is actually working fine.

 

[Tesselator]

Okay... Well at least I beat your score. Heh!

@Arctucas trounced us both tho. :/

That's not a bug, that's a feature.

This data should really be reset so if people are comparing speeds with one another there isn’t a way to “cheat” by taking a screen shot with old data and a different drive selected.

Any software that gives a read write or score is competitive by nature

MacOS too, but I get it that this is doing gradual development steps and it's easier to get a larger userbase off of Windows, at the moment.
The site does have a huge database or results using other tools, for which this one now stands-up to and lists the legacy SSD-Z, that was a shame that it stopped being developed 10 years ago.
That being said, are there going to be skins or UI variations outside of Microsoft's Fluent design language, @Phison2000 ?

 

[Let3r]

How did you get all of those SSD benchmark data?

 

[Phison2000]

I'm not a fan of skins. What's the point of them? But there is Light Mode, Dark Mode, and Contrast Mode.

How did you get all of those SSD benchmark data?

Which ones, exactly? I've tested hundreds of SSDs myself.

Yup... And for marketing too. Can't just say "Oops...!"

Plus I think it would be very useful to have it update to the data for the selected drive so you can page through multiple drives after BM'ing them.

This is what I didn't like about "HD Tune" too... (Oh well, gift-horses and all that... I'm thankful...)

Wow. Impressive.

Sorry, I misunderstood that. The program remembers which drive you selected, as well as the number of rounds and the test size. I thought @Tesselator was referring to that.
But you're right, the benchmark should be reset when you switch drives. I'll include that in the next version.

What exactly do you mean by that?

Thanks for creating the tool and sharing it here! Reporting from Win7
