Measure time is how long should it be measured for. I like 30 seconds for a more realistic load. Interval time is the time between tests. I like to do 60 seconds because it gives the drive and OS some time to settle before going into the next test.

Update on the upgrade: nearly every type of test shows consistent improvements being close to or at advertised read/write speeds. I've noticed things are a lot more snappy, and I've also noticed that GTA 5 w/mods can play happily without the occasional stuttering as before. I went from a Western Digital PCIe 3 512GB NVMe up to a PCIe 4 Samsung 980 Pro.

Hey, great video - thanks for making it! Question - I have been having trouble downloading games from Steam lately. I keep getting a "download paused, disk write error" message. I downloaded this software and ran the test, and the bottom 2 in the write column came back with zeros. I have a Sandisk Ultra II SSD. I'm thinking this indicates a problem with my disk. What do you think?
@TechIlliterate3 жыл бұрын
Definitely sounds like an issue with the disk. Is it your C: drive? Download a disk checking utility or use the command prompt.
@Rsivordog3 жыл бұрын
@@TechIlliterate Hey, thank you for the response! It is not my primary drive - it is a drive I added for extra storage for games, music, etc. My OS is on a different drive. I guess my real question is - if those tests come back with zeroes in the bottom right two columns (my settings were at 5/32gb, if that makes sense to you), does that indicate that I likely have a problem? In any case, you have my sub. Thank you for making videos like this, and for being responsive!
