This project is a simple disk performance testing application written in C++20. It measures the read and write speeds of a specified disk by writing and reading a test file of a user-defined size.
- Prompt user for disk letter, data size, caching option, and iteration count.
- Validate the specified disk.
- Perform disk write and read tests.
- Display average write and read speeds.
- Windows operating system
- C++20 compatible compiler
- Visual Studio IDE (recommended)
- Open the project in Visual Studio.
- Build the project by selecting Build > Build Solution from the menu ot by pressing
Crtl+Shift+B.
Enter the disk letter (e.g., C): D
Enter the size of data to write (in MB): 1024
Enable caching? (y/n): n
Enter the number of iterations: 6
