A method of assessing performance of a device, such as a hard drive, in a computer system. The method allows measurement of data transfer rates during read and write operations from and to the hard drive. The method establishes a virtual drive in random access memory (RAM) subsystem to act as a destination and source for the data read from and written into the hard drive. The method determines the data transfer rate of the hard drive by monitoring the duration of the data transfer between the hard drive and virtual drive. The method achieves consistent and reliable assessment of performance of the hard drive. |
