HD Speed Test Description

An easy to use benchmark tool that actually performs reads and writes the way your video editing system does Imagine being able to see the speeds you'd get from within Final Cut Pro, not just the raw drive speeds. That's the point of the HD Speed Test tool.HD Speed Test is an easy to use real-world benchmark, which reads and writes files exactly the same way Final Cut Pro does, then measures how fast those files are written and read back and gives the average speed of the drive for video operations. Because other benchmarking tools just read and write video files, as if they are ordinary data. But, they are not. An application has to transcode information going onto the disk or coming off of it, unless the computer is just copying binary files. Other tools show you the raw read/write speeds, this tool shows you the real speed your application can expect.This matters when you are editing video, capturing to a drive, playing video back in an application (iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer, to name a few products).It also matters when you are doing just about everything else except copying data in the Finder, which -- let's face it -- rarely happens when you're working with video files. Here are some key features of "HD Speed Test": · Actually understands 720p, 1080i and 1080p video · Allows you to choose a drive · Benchmarks the footage type against the drive selected · Shows you the "throughput" in Megabytes Per Second (MB/s)
