Diagnostic Software Reviews and Downloads

Nero CD-DVD Speed

Nero CD Speed is a utility that tests various parameters of your CD-ROM performance, including, of course, its speed. The tests are: Transfer Rate Test, DAE Quality Test, Seek Times Test, CPU Utilization Test, Burst Rate Test, Spin Up/Down Test and Disk Eject/Load Test. All the test results are shown in appropriate fields on the main program screen after the test is over. Too bad that the next test, even if it's different from the previously taken one, erases all other displayed results. So you can't run all tests and then print out the complete test results - only one at a time. The utility successfully recognizes more than two hundred different CD-ROM drives and offers extra tests such as Advanced DAE Quality Test or Scan Disk for some of them. Download this free tool today and measure your CD-ROM speed.
