A hard disk speed test is very simple to execute. These tests are typically done in a controlled environment. For example, if one was testing 5 different hard drives for speed, they'd need to use the same computer every time to ensure accurate measurements. There are many programs that can aid in this testing. Something like Disk Bench can help out greatly. Download it here:
