CrystalDiskMark
Measures sequential and random read, write, and mixed performance of hard drives, SSDs, and NVMe storage devices on Windows systems
It takes care to curate a safe software space. Help us do more.
&
| + | Sequential Benchmarking | Measures large contiguous read and write transfer speed to show peak throughput of a drive. |
|---|---|---|
| + | Random 4K/512K Testing | Measures small random read and write performance, including a queue-depth-32 4K test, to reveal responsiveness under scattered I/O. |
| + | Selectable Test Data | Lets the tester pick random, 0-fill, or 1-fill data patterns to expose drives that shortcut compressible test data. |
| + | Preset Test Profiles | Offers Peak, Real World, and Demo profiles preconfigured for different benchmarking scenarios. |
| + | Portable Operation | Runs from a ZIP archive with no installation, letting a tester carry it on removable media. |
| + | Command-Line Automation | Accepts command-line parameters so benchmark runs can be scripted and repeated unattended. |
| + | Multi-Language Interface | Displays menus and results in dozens of languages for use across different locales. |
| + | Theme Selection | Switches between visual skins, including character-themed Aoi and Shizuku editions, without changing the benchmark engine. |
| - | No Continuous Monitoring | Produces one-off benchmark snapshots rather than tracking drive performance in the background over time. |

Notes
- AmorphousDiskMark is a separately developed macOS-only clone with a similar interface, made with the CrystalDiskMark author’s permission — it is not an official CrystalDiskMark release.
- CrystalDiskMark also ships in themed variants (Standard, Aoi, Shizuku) that share the same benchmarking engine and differ only in UI skin.
