If MBBench is measuring the speed at which data is transfered to the DVD drive, are we meant to also select the drive from which the data typically originates? In other words, do we selct the HD drive where the DVD files are located, and the DVD writer the media is in, and then select DVD as the Scale? A simple how to Read Me would be helpful.

Just what I need at the moment.

I would like to see peak (maximum) and average values numerically if possible. Also I would like to know about seek time.

Thanks !

This is the most useful drive speed measuring utility I have ever used. Just runs in the background displaying realtime-graphed throughput while you do your real-world tasks-- not like the typical utilities that use suites of different sized-blocks to repetitively transfer. This is the actual speed of your workflow! Great job and thank you Maconnect!!!
