Check Flash 1.08 - USB Flashdrive Benchmark



Check Flash is a small portable software program for Microsoft Windows operating systems that can be used to benchmark usb flashdrives. The application will automatically recognize connected removable media devices upon startup and provide the means to run benchmark tests to test their read and write speeds. It should be noted that the default test utilize the full storage space of the usb flashdrive having the effect that all data currently stored on the flash drive will be erased.

Some tests on the other hand - like the read stability test - will keep the existing data structure unharmed. Several different test modes are available including a full erase test. The test length can be selected as well ranging from one full cycle to a manual cycle selection, a burn it mode or until the first error has been found.

The application comes with several command line parameters that can be used to control the application from the command line or batch files. The parameters could be important if the removable drive is not properly identified by the software program. The /all switch will display all drives that are currently connected to the computer system making it easy to pick the removable devices that would not have been found otherwise.

Users should be aware though that the all parameter makes it possible to pick a hard drive for testing as well which can lead to data loss.

Check Flash is an excellent program to test the speeds of USB flashdrives. The program can be directly downloaded from the developers homepage and should run on most Windows operating systems.

Check Flash es una pequeña utilidad que te ayudará a comprobar el estado de tus pendrives o memorias de estado sólido, a través de la medición de su velocidad de lectura, escritura y también del estado de todos los sectores que componen su total de almacenamiento.

Aunque cada día más baratas, no es menos cierto que transportamos mucha información en ellas ya que incluso se encuentran presentes como memoria de nuestros móviles. Si utilizamos algo como el Computer Repair Utility Kit, Opera USB o Firefox Portable, seguramente nos gustará tener a mano algo como Check Flash, para saber en que estado se encuentra nuestro pendrive.

Eso si, antes de efectuar un test hay que tener en cuenta que el test por defecto necesita revisar minuciosamente cada sector, escribiendo en el por lo que debes primero copiar tus datos al ordenador para poder efectuarlo sin perder nada. Es molesto, lo sabemos, pero también la mejor manera de comprobar el estado de tus pendrives.
