Battery Eater is a testing tool intended to reveal the potential of a notebook battery pack. Battery Eater can measure the minimum operation time of a notebook (when all power-saving options are disabled) under conditions close to the maximum workload (Classic mode). Battery Eater will show a result closest to the maximum possible in the "Idle" and in the "Reader's Test" mode (when all power-saving options are fully enabled).
Battery Eater also draws the battery discharge graph where you can see the dynamics of the charge level.

To note, the Help file states "Avoid launching the program from media other than hard disk drives" |
Disk Thruput Tester (DiskTT) is a benchmarking tool analyzing the throughput of any disk. This is important because your actual disk performance is determined, not only by the speed of your hard drive as measured by most disk benchmarks, but also by the main board chipset, AHCI/UDMA/PIO mode, RAID configuration, CPU speed, RAM size, and the quality of drivers.
The program measures sequential read/write and random access speeds in megabytes/sec. You can set the size of the test file, the folder on the target disk to which test data will be written, cache settings, etc. Existing data on the target disk is not affected.

Changes up to v2.10 release 16 - Changed: get true free RAM on x64 systems. - New: added the read/write mode to the random access test. The random read/write test alternates between read and write after each seek, so 5% of the file is randomly read and another 5% is randomly altered. - Changed: increased the possible block size up to 100MB (99999KB); expect a write error on XP and older when using a >64MB blocksize. Changes up to v2.02 release 15 - Reduced the number of random reads to 10%. - Fixed freeze of progress bar updates and resulting 'program not responding' messages under Vista/7.Changes up to v2.02 release 15 - Reduced the number of random reads to 10%. - Fixed freeze of progress bar updates and resulting 'program not responding' messages under Vista/7. - Set programs priority to 'high' as an effort to minimize reported differences between measurements (if effective at all). |

Just downloaded this app on a Windows 7 Professional machine and a Windows XP SP3 machine. It popped up on both machines with a peripheral error then quit.

The latest version is best avoided! Completely freezes on startup, hard restart required. Also, disabling update check on startup has no effect, does it every time!

You need to start this by "run as administator" in order to see all the drives. You can set that property in the shortcut properties if you wish.

This program really helped me out today by showing a "high speed" flash drive really wasn't. Negatively, it wants to erase a drive to run a write test for some reason. Still, a great diagnostic program with an easy to understand output. |

Sadly, this utility has not been updated since 2016, so it does not recognize *any* of the modern SSD drives. 4 of my 5 SSD drives, it just displays no data... |
