jsBudbrainLaufwerksTest

Find out how fast your drive really is: the app writes a test file, reads it back, checks every part of it and deletes it again. Two level meters show the current speed while it runs, and two charts record the whole test.

Test by size, from 1024 MB up to 16 GB, or by time, from 5 seconds up to 16 minutes. A longer test shows when a fast drive runs out of breath and the speed drops — and how much was written until then.

Every part of the test file is checked when it is read back, which helps to uncover drives that claim more capacity than they really have. The app never fills a drive: it leaves enough free space for your system.

As a snap, the app measures in your home folder and on removable drives.

For USB drives and memory cards, allow access once:

sudo snap connect jsbudbrainlaufwerkstest:removable-media

To show the drive names and types:

sudo snap connect jsbudbrainlaufwerkstest:mount-observe
sudo snap connect jsbudbrainlaufwerkstest:hardware-observe

Keywords: drive speed, disk test, SSD, NVMe, hard drive, USB stick, memory card, benchmark, read speed, write speed
