Blackmagic Disk Speed Test | How Fast is Your Hard Drive?

If you’ve tried to find out a drive’s speed rating by consulting a manufacturer’s website, you may have stumbled across marketing materials that listed performance numbers without context. That’s one reason to use the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test to evaluate a Mac’s performance, including how well its internal versus external storage drives perform.

Blackmagic Disk Speed Test started out as a free utility bundled with all Blackmagic Design video and audio products for multimedia capture, playback, and editing. The free app became popular with Mac enthusiasts as an easy way to check the performance of their system disks, fusion drives, and SSDs. While Blackmagic makes the app free to everyone, its focus is on video capture and playback.

Blackmagic has released the app to the public via the Mac App Store. So head over to the Mac App Store to download and install the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test.
