I test all new flash drives with Parkdale, so I use it regularly.
There is something that should be improved and that is the ability to
stop the test whenever one wants. In the middle of a test, while wrting
to the flash drive, even if you click STOP the writing continues and you
have to wait. The software should continuasly probe whether the STOP
button has been pressed and stop the test as soon as possible.

I just tested and the write will immediately stop when I press the "Stop" button.
Can you please explain a little bit more? You can also send me an email: contact@the-sz.com

I just want to add that I am using the 3.0.1 portable version of Parkdale, maybe this situation does not occur with the standard windows installed version.

I also just tested and pressed stop several times, the program continues recording the 4 GB test file, I had to stop the program with Windows Task Manager to avoid waiting and waiting, and even so, Windows Task manager said the program was not responding before having it closed.

Once the test started, either you wait until the completion of the test, that with a slow flash drive can take many minutes or you have to rely on Windows Task Manager to stop waiting. I recorded all the action with WIN+G windows 10 feature, so I can prove it.

Please send me this video: contact@the-sz.com
Parkdale is portable, there is no setup at all. Just unzip the file and start Parkdale.

I would also like to test really small files in KByte if you can also
please add this as an option to choose between KByte and MByte, thanks.

What is your storage device? HDD and SSD devices transfer files less than 1MB so fast that you can't get a useful transfer speed.

Can you please add a block size of 4KB which is the NTFS default block size for partitions sized between
7 MB and 16 TB(refer https://support.microsoft.c....

Please use latest Parkdale version 3.00, you can now select 4kb block size.

The Parkdale block size means in which chunk sizes the data is read/written. It's not related to the block size of the file system.

However, I will check what I can do...

I'm surprised you haven't created a release on the Chocolatey Package Manager. Chocolatey is surging in popularity as a Package Manager for Windows

Their documentation is not really TL;DR friendly :-(

What's the point of all these instructions if they're no longer valid with this latest version, which appears to be nothing but a hardware monitor? Contrary to the header of the website, there is no facility to test read and write speeds. It would have at least made sense to have left version 2.76 available for download.

Please try again, for me, the links are working...

It's working correctly now. I don't know how the wrong item appeared before.

Can anyone tell me, please, how can i fix a speed via usp port? my external hdd, has the speed of a rock. 104kbps. The external has usb 3, but is conected to usb 2 on my pc.... this low should be? or is some issue at my external hdd ?!

There could be something wrong with the cable, or the port.

Any possibility of releasing a command line version of this? This would be ideal for some automated testing I'd like to do

I added a Commandline version...

Hi.
Could you make It really portable (like homedale with portable.dat/Homedale.ini)? Many Thanks

Please try version 2.93. This version supports command line option "-z" or a the file 'portable.dat' in the same directory to switch to portable mode

It works fine: I tried with "portable.dat" and then the program has created the file "Parkdale.ini" with the settings inside. Clean/really portable. MANY Thanks!

Thanks, I wanted to test my USB reading speed and your product is amongst the good ones.

One of the most useful tools to have when troubleshooting network speed issues.

Been looking for something like this for long :D
Thanks alot guys
