ExperienceIndexOK is a small program to read and show your Windows Experience Index or to start a new calculation of the performance index. This index "measures the capability of your computer's hardware and software configuration" (source).
The program is primarily written for Windows 8.1 and 10 because the performance index is still calculated but no longer displayed in the System.
Experience Index is visually inspired by the representation on Windows 7.

From version 7 (2021-03-09) there are more licenses: |
CrystalDiskMark is benchmarks disk performance, measuring sequential and random 4KB/512KB reads/writes for any storage device. The target device does not need to be formatted.
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).
Alternatively, CrystalDiskMark Portable is also available, which auto-switches between x86 and x64.

CrystalDiskinfo should not be listed under Similar/alternative apps for CrystalDiskMark. CrystalLDiskMark benchmarks, whereas CrystalDiskinfo supplies a lot of disk information, but does NOT benchmark.

A remarkable number of commercial disks are benchmarked using this tool. It's a must-have for comparing hardware performance. |
DiskCountersView displays information about the drives on your system based on Window's system counters of each disk drive. Includes the total number of read/write operations and the total number of read/write bytes. Additionally, general drive information is also displayed like disk name, partition number, partition location, etc.

IntelBurnTest allows CPU benchmarking and stability tests under a heavy load. The program is commonly used by the overclocking community to measure CPU temperature when used in conjunction with a separate temperature monitoring program.
NOTE: The program will stress the CPU, memory, and north bridge, meaning the machine will run unusually hot. Make sure your PC is properly cooled and ventilated before use. Additionally, setting the "times to run" past 20 doesn't provide better results.
The program is a front-end for the CPU stress testing utility Intel Linpack.

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... |
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). |

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. |
