Checking Disk Speed

Blackmagic Disk Speed Test is a fun application that measures the read and write performance of
storage media, then displays the results using video formats.
If you have ever wondered whether your hard drive is suitable for recording ("write") or playback
("read") of a particular video format, you can use Disk Speed Test to find out. Test the performance
of your media drives with a single click of the 'start' button! Disk Speed Test will even show you how
many streams of video your storage is capable of handling.
Disk Speed Test is included free in the Blackmagic Camera Setup software utility supplied with your
Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Production Camera 4K. Blackmagic Camera Setup can also be
downloaded from our website free of charge.
