Best way is to note the model number and look it up!

I don't know of any software that will do this accurately.

For just comparision test run, you can use the
Drive Speed Test from exibitionsoftware.com

Of course, Steve Gibson's SpinRite give you more detail on your hard drive. Here is a screen shoot:



Go to www.grc.com and check out Spinrite. It is not free!

 

Ummm.... Hey, Snoopy, what you running on the machine that the C:/ drive is only 210 megs? DOS?

 

Freddy:

It is 210 MB at 3600 RPM!

How about Linux?

It is one of those old screen from many moons ago by Steve Gibson!

 

Hm - didn't know that SpinRite would do that!

Harry.

 

LOL... Linux with Window's drive naming conventions?

To tell the truth I didn't realize you had just copied and pasted from grc.com. I thought it was a window from one of your machines running spinrite.... I know you've been around a while so I figured it was just one of your old machines....
