What is the CrystalDiskMark disk benchmark? - Answers

CrystalDiskMark is a free disk benchmarking utility that is very simple to use.

There are more screenshots from this benchmark posted on the web than any other, probably due to its clean and simple display. There is further information, including instructions on how to benchmark your own drives, on the CrystalDiskMark wiki page.
