MyDiskTest v2.42

is a popular free diagnostic tool designed specifically for testing USB flash drives, SD cards, and other portable storage media. It is widely used for identifying "fake" drives that report a higher capacity than they actually have. Key Functions

• Run tests on raw block devices (when safe) to avoid filesystem caching skew, or disable caches where possible.
• Ensure no other heavy I/O is running during tests.
• For SSDs, allow drive to reach steady-state by running warm-up and sustained phases.
• Use multiple iterations and average results; watch for variance.
• Record temperature when running stress tests to correlate thermal throttling.

Speed Testing:

Measures the actual read and write speeds to ensure they match the manufacturer's claims. mydisktest v242
