Speed Test

USBDeview allows you to test the read/write speed of your USB flash drive. The test is made by writing a large file (named $speed_test_nirsoft$.dat) into your USB flash drive and then reading it back for testing the read speed.

Be aware that you need at least 100 MB of free disk space in order to successfully make this speed test and that this test is made with sequential read and write operations. When using multiple small files, the read/write performances are usually much lower than sequential read/write.

In order to make a speed test to your flash drive, simply select the desired item in the main window, and then choose the 'Speed Test' option from the File menu or press Ctrl+T. In the speed test window verify that the selected drive letter is the right one and then press the 'Start Test' button. Wait a few seconds until the write and read tests are finished.
